2008 NBA Draft: Rose or Beasley?

I know, BlogaBull is thataway, but I think it'd be cool to see what the Sox fans who follow the Bulls think should happen tomorrow when the Bulls draft 1st overall in the draft. It's a huge moment for the team considering how disappointing last season was. I have been wavering between Derrick Rose and Michael Beasley, but think Rose is the best fit for the Bulls. He's got great size and athleticism for a point guard, and had an incredible NCAA tournament, destroying 1st round prospects like DJ Augustin in the process.
Oh, and not to skew the poll, but Derrick Rose is a White Sox fan :)

any rumors for a trade?
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

not by the bulls that i've heard yet.
lots of talk about miami wanting nothing to do with beasley at this point and trying to trade down for mayo or maybe even taking him outright at #2.

For the Bulls, no
The only draft day trade the Bulls could be involved in is trading Hinrich to Portland for the 13th pick and an expiring contract. My wish is to see Nocioni shipped to Siberia, but I don’t think they are trading him just yet.
Riley seems unimpressed by Beasley so much that he is willing to trade down, because his new mancrush is Jerryd Bayless. I think Beasley’s “character issues” are holding him down now, although I can’t see how his prankster mentality would be a big deal when Wade is there to keep him in check.

Not as of yet... I heard we might get Shawn Marion for Capt. Kirk and Tyrus
If it was up to me I would try to keep Tyrus. Maybe Del Negro won’t bench him after a missed shot. I voted for Rose, I just don’t see Beasly as a power forward and I am not sure he has the skill set to be play small fwd. Not sure what Rose will bring his first year… hopefully some excitement though.

Rose
Quick hits why
Rose instantly makes Tyrus better and for that matter Noah and Deng as well.
Beasley while undoubtedly good seems to small to play the post-game the Bulls so desperately want. He could turn into a McHale, but that’s a tall order for him.
New rules make point guard play even more important. Granted the Lakers and Celts didn’t have a fantastic PG, but they did have Kobe, KG, and Pierce.
Rose was better than his college stats would indicate. He played on a stacked team limiting his scoring numbers, but showing his ability to play within the team and Memphis plays dribble drive motion system which supresses the number of assists you would get from him
Then there’s this
Plus imagine what he could do with a proper NBA diet rather than candy!

Beasley will do fine in the NBA
The more I see him, the more he reminds me of a young Larry Johnson. But, that’s not the kind of guy you can build a franchise around. Rose is a leader, tireless worker, and actually has superstar talent. His athleticism and size gives him a huge advantage at PG where there are tons of weak defenders.

Nah, his size translates to the NBA
He measures close to 6’8 with shoes on, so it won’t be that much of a stretch. Plus he doesn’t live in the paint, he can score from anywhere. Whether he is good at defense remains to be seen.

hard to believe beasley won't be a very good nba player. i find it funny because a lot of people assume wanting to choose rose over beasley means you think beasley sucks. it's 1 vs. 2, not talking about whether beasley is going to be a lottery
or first-round pick or something.

i like the rose pick for a lot of reasons.
i’m concerned about beasley’s size and ability to play the 3 if he has to.
a rose pick means something is going to be shaken up…i think the current mix is stale, and if they take beasley everything else can pretty much stay the same.
rose already plays defense.
free agents want to sign up to play with a guy who can and will get them the ball, not someone who constantly demands it.

If they had just hired Rick Carlisle from the get go none of this would have happened. Del Negro is obviously a blank slate, but that man is a smooth talker. If they win 20 games I’m convinced he’ll find a way to sugarcoat it.

Ideally move Hughes, but that ain't happening
Gordon is really good…he had a tough year last year, because he was the only consistent threat for the Bulls, with Rose penetrating, BG would be that much more dangerous.
I really can’t decide between Hinrich and Gordon
-Jeeves Life in the Cell
by jeeves on Jun 26, 2008 6:46 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
The problem is Hinrich's contract
I think he’s the best 6th man on the team, but unfortunately he’s paid starting money. Gordon can’t play defense and thus becomes worth less (not worthless) in the 4th quarter. Either way, you can’t justify paying 10mil+ to two back up guards.

are James and Wade not long for the respective teams that they’re currently with? In other words, is the (current) expectation that they’ll leave after their current contracts are finished? I know the answer to this will only be an educated guess, but any comments about those two?

The Knicks and the Nets are both setting themselves up to make serious runs at LeBron when his contract is up and Wade… I don’t know if I trust his health as much anymore. He needs to use the next few seasons proving to teams that he can play a full 82 w/ playoffs.

You guys have been raised on comparisons to Eddie VH, Clapton, etc. They didn’t exist back then. These were the first guys to play orchestral music on their own – no small feat. Harrison’s guitar would never be mistaken for Jeff Beck, but the boy could play. And Clapton had a lot in common with him – took his wife.
Now, Ringo sucked as a drummer, I’ll give you that. But McCartney was routinely givne the mantle as ‘best bassist in rock” (though Entwistle might’ve had a right to be pissed).

Anderson is good
I was about to say if they picked Arthur the Nets would have gotten two steals (relative to where the analysts had them valued) in B Lopez and Arthur

C'mon Pax, we need another sweet draft night trade like this one...
June 28, 2006 – The Chicago Bulls and Portland Trail Blazers made the following trade tonight: Chicago traded the Draft rights to LaMarcus Aldridge (the second overall pick) and a future Bulls second round draft choice to the Portland Trail Blazers for the Draft rights to Tyrus Thomas (the fourth overall pick) and the contract of Viktor Khryapa.

I know he probably expected to get picked earlier
But he came across as a giant retard not knowing who the coach or GM of the Nets were, and his voice is android-esque.
