Name: Michael Beasley
	School: Kansas State
	Position: SF/PF
	Class: Freshman
	Height: 6'8"
	Weight: 239
Strengths:	An effortless scorer, Beasley is a threat to drop 30 on any given night.  Ambidextrous and uses it to his advantage as he can finish with either hand.  A dynamic rebounder who uses his combination of size, strength and leaping ability to control the boards.  Shows the ability to score both facing, and with his back to the basket.  A tough match-up as he can out-muscle small forwards and out-quick power forwards.  Elavates well and shows the ability to effectively uses a pull-up jumper.  A good 3- point shooter, but falls in love with it.
Weaknesses:	While this wasn't the same kind of problem that it's been in the past, Beasley has a reputation for coasting through games.  He's the most gifted offensive player in the nation, when he's interested and in the flow of the game.  Don't let his solid defensive numbers fool you, they're mainly the by-product of gambling.  He simply hasn't shown much interest on the defensive side of the ball.  Shot selection is another concern, to often he'll stop attacking the basket and settle for jumpers.  Can get a little selfish offensively.
Overall:	While people want to compare him to last year's phenom Kevin Durant, he's strikingly similar to Glenn Robinson when the "Big Dog" was at Purdue and dominating nightly.  When it all comes down to it, Michael Beasley will be as good a player as he wants to be.
