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.

this pretty much sums it up
however, the potential is still there...dude can still be a very good scorer when he zones in, and goes on stretches where he's unstoppable...if some1 like kobe can put him in check, dude may just get it together.

I think his attitude will make him a cancer on any team he plays with. He will drag them down and get everyone's hopes up with the occasional big game.

All valid points but I would disagree in the sense that I think his talent was big enough to overcome those shortcomings. However, the attitude remained/has remained a big problem which is why I think he hasn't really amounted to shit in his career. He's put up some pretty nice numbers when given the chance but has been reduced to a rotation guy, likely cause he's an idiot.

BEASLEY HAD A 20 PPG SEASON...HE CAN SCORE WIT THE BEST OF EM WHEN HE'S HOT. HE IS A TWEENER, YES, BUT THE NBA'S BEEN TRENDING TOWARDS SMALL-BALL ANYWAYS, SO HE FITS THE BILL. LIKE REMEDY SAID, HIS MAIN PROBLEM IS HIS ATTITUDE/WORK ETHIC. HE HAS THE TALENT TO BE CARMELO ANTHONY IF HE ACTUALLY GAVE A FUCK.
