quelques précisions intéressantes sur la carrière de B-Easy et ses choix :
Extrait SB Nation :
Beasley didn't grow up under the greatest circumstances, always on the move with his mother and two siblings and no father figure. Ever the prankster, B-Easy was constantly getting in trouble at school. Grades were never really a huge issue, but his immature behavior was a factor in the youngster attending seven schools in just five years.
Beasley appeared to find a home at high school basketball powerhouse Oak Hill Academy, averaging 20.1 points and 10.0 rebounds during his junior year. However, more childish pranks led to B-Easy's dismissal from Oak Hill, and he wound up at Notre Dame Prep in Massachusetts.
Beasley excelled at Notre Dame Prep, and he decided to attend Kansas State without ever visiting the campus. He even admitted that he "couldn't find Kansas on a map." But he made the choice because one of his good friends, Dalonte Hill, had just been hired as an assistant coach under Bob Huggins.
Beasley somehow stayed out of trouble at Kansas State, and he blew up thanks to his amazing basketball abilities. In his college debut against Sacramento State, he put up 32 points and 24 rebounds. He had a 39-and-11 game against Kansas, a 40-and-11 performance against Missouri and a 44-and-13 outing against Baylor. Just absurd numbers.
In his one year at Kansas State, Beasley averaged 26.2 points and 12.4 rebounds while shooting 53.2 percent from the field and 37.9 percent from three. Consider that those stats were BETTER than Durant's, who played in the same conference just a year earlier.
That's why Beasley and Rose were being talked about in the same breath for the No. 1 pick in 2008. That's why people such as ESPN's Scoop Jackson wrote articles asking whether teams should tank for Beasley.
