The hallmark of Beasley's game is versatility. He is a 6-foot-9 combo forward with both a powerful game and a finesse game. The future of the NBA calls for forwards who can run, defend multiple positions and stretch the defense on the offensive end. Beasley fits this mold to a tee. He is effective in transition both as a finisher and handler. He is capable of switching on the high ball screen and guarding a perimeter player while also capable of banging down low against the big boys. Offensively, he can score at all three levels and is a terrific scorer and passer off the dribble, causing match up problems for his opponents.[/td] [/tr][tr][td]2[/td] [td]Eric Gordon

@ all of the Talent!

Is there a single High school class with more talent than that?

From that class we had
the best freshmen class(performance wise) in the history of college basketball.
The most freshmen drafted into the NBA.
Numerous College Awards and accolades
The 2009 NBA rookie of the year(Derrick Rose imo)
Numerous NBA Impact rookies.
The single best players in the 2008 and 2009 NCAA Seasons(M.Beasley & B.Griffin)

I just haven't seen a class make such an impact in a little amount of time as they have.

2002 - Amare Stoudamire, Carmelo Anthony, Raymond Felton, Chris Bosh, Rashad McCants, Sean May, Shelden Williams, JJ Redick, Bracey Wright, Antoine Wright, DeeBrown, Sean Dockery, Iggy, Jarret Jack, Randy Foye, Brandon Roy, Andre Clark, Vincent Grier, Justin Gray

2002 > *

 

[craftsy21]

02 and 07 are both unreal... even all those guys who left school after last year, the ones who stayed are all at the tops of the conference awards and whatnot... just a very deep class last year.

 

[mben32]

Maybe my question should have been

is '07 the deepest class?

Because the top of that '02 Class is

, But imo, in the long run(whenall careers are said and done) '07>>>>>>*

Just too much potential, even for the cats from '07 who haven't even hit the league yet!

It's kinda weird when you think about how these guys are/were in your same grade and they're playing in the NBA right now.

You've never heard of Brandon Knight?

He's presumed to follow Kenny to UF in 2010.
