If so, that's one hell of a guard. He is. To be fair, Kidd is a horrible shooter so it's not a surprise. And Jason's court vision and passing are amongst the best. But body type, speed while Kidd was in his prime, etc. are very similar. I'd take Rose over Beasley. To be fair, I told you how good he was a month and a half ago and got ripped for it. Good to see you have came to your senses. Rose should be the first pick in this draft. Power forwards are there every year, but a great point guard is there every 5-10. I would be shocked if Derrick Rose ever became any kind of transcendent player, which is what a better shooting Jason Kidd would be (Oscar Robertson). He might not, but I would be shocked if Beasley ever becomes a franchise player. At least a franchise player on a good team. Hell he barely was able to win 20 games in college. Shocked is the word you're using? He's a good low-post scorer and he's an awesome shooter from outside 14 feet. His touch from the FT line for a bigger guy is remarkable. He's a great rebounder and he's pretty fundamentally sound on defense. You also do realize that Beasley won a good amount of those games by himself, right? K-State had frontcourt talent, but their backcourt was miserable.
