Miami Rookie Says Monday Game Will Not Be The Beasley & Rose Show

Posted by Jeff Sack under NBA Rookies

Michael Beasley has shown me a lot on the court over the last year, now he has shown me something that has impressed me even more. He?gets it !?Beasley and the Miami Heat will play their first game of the 2008 NBA Summer League against the Chicago Bulls on Monday.?The?Bulls?of course drafted Derrick Rose with the first pick of last month’s NBA Draft, the Heat took Beasley with the second selection. The NBA in another one of their misguided marketing schemes are trying to market the game as Rose vs. Beasley. But the “Associated Press“?is reporting that the rookie says the game has nothing to do with Rose against himself. Beasley told reporters “I don’t feel that every time you mention Derrick Rose’s name, you’ve got to mention mine, or vice versa. If people want to, they can. But I’ve got my career to look after. He’s got his. If you want to make it a Mike Beasley and Derrick Rose show, go ahead. But that’s not how it’s going to be”

Michael, I could not agree with you more. Rose is a point guard Beasley is a power forward, if they enjd up guarding each other it means somebody’s defensive assignement broke down. Thank you Mike, for not buying into the hype! You keep your head on straight like it is you will have along and prosperous career in the Association.

I’m still kind of suprised that both of these players will be playing despite the fact that they are both injured.
