Not too long go, I posted something about how Michael Beasely is going to average 22 and 12 for the T'Wolves next year. I could be wrong. Unless he could do that on 25 minutes of work a night that is. Lets see why. One thing I'm taking away from this World Championship games in Turkey is this; Kevin Love is legit. After reviewing Kevin Love's stats for lst season, that sold me totally on him. He avg 14 points and 11 boards a game in only 28 minutes. That is making the most of his opportunities to say the least. He looks like hes ready to get increased minutes and in doing so increase his already fat stat line. He looks to be a lock at the four for years to come for the T'Wolves. Darko Milicic just signed a new four year 20 million dollar contract with the Wolves as well. A versatile forward who still has room to grow in his game. Milicic has gotten better every single year he has been in the L. Just happens to be a slow pace to take notice, but hes a good NBA player none the less.
So does Beasley play the 3 then? With Kurt Rambis the new head coach for the T'Wolves, someone who is known for being a defensive minded coach? We all know that offensively Beas can go toe-to-toe with any body in the L (except Kobe. DUH). Being in the west Bese is going to have to guard Caron Butler, Al Thorton, Ron Artest, Rudy Gay, Hedo Turkoglu, Nicoles Batum, Richard Jefferson, and oh yea Carmelo his he stays in Denver and Duranchala on a nightly basis. All will have season if not career highs against Beas less than shaky D. But the T'Wolves just drafted Wes Johnson, a prototypical NBA small forward. Not to mention Martell Webster and Corey Brewer also vying for playing time. So Beas will be rendered to a few more seasons of basically a reserve. Can't Bease get a break? He just needs to play out his rookie contract and go find somewhere where his talents can be put on full display. Which is basically limited to offense.
