Title: McD AA practice update...
Post by: ksu_FAN on March 26, 2007, 09:00:47 AM


Can't wait to see him in purple next year. (http://www.draftexpress.com/viewarticle.php?a=1953
Michael Beasley, 6’9, 240 lbs, PF, Signed with Kansas State

Beasley showed off his freakish athleticism in the three on two, two on one drills where he threw the ball off of the glass to himself for an amazing dunk over an unsuspecting teammate. He coasted a bit through some of the drills, but his remarkable skill set was on center stage on Sunday. Coach Taylor was forced to motivate Mike at times when he began to play lackadaisically, which is when the Notre Dame Prep forward started to turn it on. He hit a few NBA three pointers, put the ball on the floor well, and glided through the air like a 757 when going to the rim. While he may not have been the most productive player on the floor for his team in day one, he certainly left many in attendance drooling at the potential player he can be by the time it is all said and done.[/url)

Michael Beasley, 6’9, 230 lbs, SF/PF, Signed with Kansas State

While Beasley played absolutely zero defense, he was downright fantastic on the offensive end. He made a few incredible plays for a 6’9 player, handling the ball in the open floor and gliding through the air to the rim as if he were a 6’4 guard. The Kansas State recruit exerted more effort today then he did in Sunday’s practice, but still seemed to lose focus at times. However, when Beasley decided he wanted to play, the offensive performance that he put on was honestly scary given his size, skill level, and athleticism.

It sounds like he annoys everyone because he doesn't try, but is just too damn good to ignore.

Yeah, Bob Huggins is probably the best coach possible for Mike.  His coaching style is exactly what Mike needs to become a better/more complete player.

DraftExpress: Obviously it’s not an option for you now, but what would you have done had the NBA not instilled their age rule?

Mayo: I still would have went to college. It’s a once in a lifetime experience. The NBA is going to be there as long as you take care of your business, and that’s always what I’ve planned on doing.

It'll be interesting to see if / how long Mike rebels against the stricter approach of Huggs.  I'm hoping its not an issue.
