Beasley will play small forward in the pros. What did Paul Pierce do for the past 12 years or so? A number one draft pick should have an instant impact on a team. Without Garnett and allen Paul Pierce would've begged out of Boston in search for a championship caliber team. What I said is you don't build a championship caliber team at the small forward position. Dominant contenders in recent years, i.e.; multiple championship teams had dominant centers, point guards, or shooting guards. Boston this year isn't a team that drafted anyone to build it into a contender. Trades made that team. Duncan is a power forward/center. His all-star balloting lists him as a center. You have to go all the way back to Larry Bird to find a team that drafted a small forward who turned them into a contender instantly. Today's NBA is a different game altogether. I like Beasley, but picking Rose at # 1 is a no brainer. What kind of impact did Durant have? Not much. They're right back in the lottery. A # 1 pick should do far more than stand outside and hoist 3s at 6' 10". There are guys like that on every team, yet every year you hear the same crap how that player is going to be different. They never are. Would you take Lamar Odom at # 1? What can beasley do that Lamar can't? Nothing. Case closed.
