Miami has best shot at landing K-States Beasley, but will the Heat select him?

Pondering Beasley’s future

“He doesn’t mind contact, and that’s usually the biggest adjustment to the next level,” Legler said. “He’s physical in the paint, and that’s why I think he will be successful. I think he has a huge impact and starts right away.”

In Miami, Beasley probably will remain a hot topic. Alzugaray doesn’t think the Heat’s draft philosophy will change now that assistant Erik Spoelstra has been elevated to head coach and coach Pat Riley (who groomed Spoelstra) now is team president.

“Talking about Beasley and the draft will keep people interested,” Alzugaray said, “but really, the NFL is always No. 1 here, and everything else is a distant 42nd.”
