He doesn't have Harden's ability to create offense for himself (lacks the handle for it). But he actually gives a damn on defense.

I like him a lot. He seems like obvious lottery talent IMO. He's jumped Furkan on my board and possibly even Luwawu.

When I watched the Malik Beasley Draftexpress video a few days ago, I thought he looked like a better 3pt shooting Alec Burks. He's another Georgia kid. I don't know why Givony has him so low.

I've got my new Exum (have I mentioned I mentioned him first, here.. and before ANY mock draft knew his name?).

SF out of Lithuania that is being scouted hard right now but NOWHERE on any mocks. 6'9 and VERY fluid (or so I've been told)... haven't even seen a clip yet.

Being called the next huge defensive players, LONG arms (needs some weight - skeletal like at this point) and so focused one scout said he was afraid his eyes would bleed. Lol? (Or wtf?) All I know is the hype is about to hit big time because everyone is in the know now... that's in the know.

Anyway, like I said, I've not even seen a picture yet (supposed to get some vid later tonight).
Oh, and by the way, he'd be in the '17 draft not this upcoming.

Name? I do have that.

I just Googled his name. It doesn't show anything. Does he really exist?

What are we going to do now that we don't have PGAB to tell us why a mock draft has Malik Beasley rated lower than what we think he should be rated?

I'll give you his response: "I've known about Beasley for years, since he was an underrated HS prospect. I always knew he was going to be really good, better than the players rated higher than him. Don't you remember when I brought him up 2 years ago by posting a highlight video and saying "This guy is good at basektball"? These draft websites just go with the hype beast but I put in the time by watching over 1000 games per month."

Lolololololol nailed it. I almost thought I was reading a PG_AB post.

He doesn't have Burks' handles, and he's smaller. His college stats, size, and athleticism are eerily similar to Ben Mclemore. Mclemore was crazy hyped for awhile and still went fairly high on draft day at 7. He has played like a late 1st rounder in the NBA. Maybe Givony is drawing that comparison as well.

Possibly. Sabonis has a better build and strength advantage. Zeller with more hops.
Zeller has quietly became a pretty good bench player this year.

Is Sabonis as scrappy as Zeller? Scrappy guys like Hansbrough and Acy (more of a SF but I digress) are disruptors for the other team. They might not be the most offensively talented but they contribute.

You got to be pretty scrappy to average 12 rebounds, even in college. I don't worry about is offensive game either. Even if most of his post game is taken away he still hit 48% on jumpers, and was showing 3PT range at the end of the year. Defensively he could be anywhere from average to really bad, that's what you worry about.

Acy as in Quincy Acy? He is not nowhere near a sf except for his size is of one. His game is nothing like a SF. He is more of a Reggie Evans undersize hustling, rugged 4.
I never heard anyway say Acy is a SF. If indeed you are talking about quincy,.

Crap. McLemore looks close to Westbrook in those highlights. Wonder what happened to him. It can't have all just disappeared.

Playing for the most cancerous franchise in existence certainly wouldn't help.

I can see the McLemore comparison. Beasley seems to have more intangibles/fight in him though, from what I can tell.
