Beasley just went for 30 and 10 and I just wasn't all that impressed... the stats are obviously great, but I wouldn't say Beasley made his presence felt. Maybe it was the foul trouble, but I don't know. Let me see him a couple more times but right now he looks like a better Marvin Williams.

Remember now, he's just a FRESHMAN.

Sure... but I'd like to see him assert his presence on a mid-major. I know George Mason is better than your typical mid, but still. When I'm looking for future stars, I like to see guys whose presence changes the game... and the game more or less flowed the same with or without Beasley on the court. Like I said, I'm not going to judge him after a game but I just felt he didn't live up to the hype.

He could be playing against Hofstra, it still doesn't change the fact he was in HIGH SCHOOL 6 months ago!! Being that he is a FRESHMAN, he is still adjusting to a completely different life away from home and for the first time, he's having to deal with a TON of pressure to play up to all the expectations everyone FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD has put on him. I'm sure it's overwhelming, yet, he still came out and at least put up good numbers. More than I can say for that fat wilting uninspired slob Eddy Curry who is currently polluting MSG.

I'm not disagreeing with you at all. I just want to be clear here. I'm being overly critical though, because right now most people are touting him as the number one overall pick. Considering the Knicks will likely be in contention for this pick, I'm being hyper-critical of Beasley.

So, my critiques are made with the Knicks selection in mind. They are not made to diminish a young, talented player. He is a very good player... I just want to figure out who I'd want the Knicks to take if they get the first pick, second pick, etc.

Right now my board looks like:
1. Rose
2. Mayo
3. Beasley
4. Budinger
5. Koufos

With Batum being the most interesting prospect around, but who knows if I'll get to see any of his games.

I'm a big fan of Budinger and Koufos but no way will they be picked ahead of Donte Green and Eric Gordon.

I see it as.

1. Derrick Rose(Knicks =D)
2. Michael Beasley
3. OJ Mayo
4. Eric Gordon
5. Donte Green

I haven't seen Green play yet, so I can't comment on him. Gordon is a fine player, but I'd definitely prefer Budinger and Koufos has size. I'm not sold on Gordon yet, because he is an undersized two that shoots from deep too much. Having said that, Gordon seems to have some big play in him and I wouldn't be surprised if he jumps up my list after watching him in the conference and NCAA tournaments.

For right now, I stand by my list but it may change as I haven't seen everyone play yet and I have only seen a handful of players in limited action.

Green is a 6'10" SF that has a good jumper. He's like Rashard Lewis.
