Hack Wilson - real:

Remedy360:
I remember when he and Rose were the consensus 1/2 picks a number of people thought Beasley was the better player of the two.

i remember some arguing Mayo over Beasley.  Mayo and D-Wade became friends before the draft by working out together.

WELCOME TO THE LAKERS

I remember all that well, because Beasley came out of Kansas State.  There a 3 college teams that are really popular in the Kansas City area.  MU, KU, and KState.  So I used to hear about this guy and see him play and I knew (like a lot of people) that he would be a bust.  How did I know...

1.  Size.  What position was he going to play?  He was able to get away with playing down low as a power forward in college.  But he didn't actually have enough height to play that position in the NBA.  He was going to have to be moved to a 3/shooting forward.   That was a red flag right there.

2.  Attitude.  There were huge flags up about this guy coming out of college.  He had got busted in college for a couple of offenses, and to be honest the dude looks waaayyyy blazed out on the court.  The dude looks high every time I see him out there.  His attitude is very laid back.  And not in a kind of Robert Horry "cool under pressure" kind of way, but in a not giving a fuck type of way.

3.  Was he really even that good in college?   I didn't even see that he was that great in college to begin with.
