Report: Michael Beasley is Big
November 23rd, 2007 by Lucas DwyerThis just in: Michael Beasley is a large man.
Ok, he’s actually “only” 6′9″ and 235 lbs, nothing like some of the behemoths that patrol the paint in the NBA, but his game belilies his size. Beasley plays like his 7′0″ and 270 lbs.
Michael Beasley, center for Kansas State, puts up a shot over Vlad Moldoveanu from George Mason.
Going into last night’s match up with unranked George Mason, Michael Beasley was the first player in Big 12 history to have 20 points and 20 rebounds in 2 games. Any two games in any year. Mr. Beasley accomplished that feat in just his first three games of his Big 12 career.
Beasley didn’t continue his run of 20/20 as Kansas State fell to the Patriots, but had 30 of his team’s 77 points along with 10 rebounds. The freshman center also added a 3-pointer, just to show he has some range.
Lost amongst the star power of Michael Beasley and George Mason’s Will Thomas was George Mason freshman Vlad Moldoveanu. The 6′10, 206 lbs freshamn from Romania had his coming out party for the Patriots, filling up the stat sheet with 11 points including a cool 6 for 6 from the free throw line. Moldoveanu also added two rebounds, two steals, a block, and a clutch three late in the game to put the Wildcats away.
