GILBERTOLOGY … ON THE NBA DRAFT

I have things I like about both players, but whether it’s Rose (left) or Beasley, they’ve both gotta play like dynasty changers. It’ll be a little easier for Rose to be a dynasty changer because he’s got the ball in his hand. Beasley, if he’s a big man, he’s dependent on someone else getting him the ball.

You’ve gotta have a point guard who can get guys involved and get into the paint. He can do that.

I balled with Beasley in the summer. He can score, can connect on a jump shot, can juke. … I don’t know why he’s compared to (Denver Nuggets All-Star forward) Carmelo (Anthony). He’s a scorer. He’s a big body post up who can score; that’s Carmelo right there. Real quick jumpers. One’s just more mobile.

I watch some of these other young guards, (Jerryd) Bayless, O.J. (Mayo) and the kid from NBA games. You know how you look at somebody and you say they’re not a college player; they’re an NBA player. They’re NBA-type of guards, not college guards.

-…

You’ll never know until they get here. The one that can shoot better. Whoever can shoot better will be the better one.

Either you go after a big man or a legit, backup (small forward) because most of our backup threes are young, but you can always get another young backup three who can get you buckets. If he’s not there, get a big man.
