Is there a chance Beasley will compare to Durant?

23 & 11 for the season and 35.5 & 14.5 for B12 play.

I don't think so, but they're similarly rated.

[PoetWarrior]

Absolutely, I expect exactly that type of impact.

[pissclams]

Beasley is bigger, Durant is longer.
One thing I think Texas does so well that helps Durant's game is they really know how to space the floor and open up the half court for Durant stopping him from getting doubled and tripled all night.

Our guys don't seem to understand that concept and it's hurting what Huggs was* trying to do.

Beas's videos make me drool.  I'm so excited to see him play.

Tangent question:  Without Beasley, do we land Mayo?

[pissclams]

There is no "Without Beasley"

Please never say/type those words together again (at least for 3 years).

I don't think so. Durant averaged more points in HS, and put up 31 h2h vs beasley while our boy put up 16.

Of course Oak Hill was a lot more balanced scoring.

[michigancat]

Beas was younger, too.  head 2 head is a silly comparison.

Will having a healthy Bill Walker on the court at the same time lower the need for Beasley to put up points?

[pissclams]

Huggs didn't sign him to stand on the court and look pretty.

Huggs didn't sign him to stand on the court and look pretty.

We have kent to do that
