Beasley Goes No. 2: Miami Heat took college basketball’s most celebrated freshman in selecting Kansas State freshman forward Michael Beasley with the second pick of the NBA Draft. Beasley was a monster with the Wildcats, averaging 26.4 points and 12.4 rebounds per game. Beasley will team with Dwyane Wade and Shawn Marion to form a potent trio for the Heat. There was speculation that the Heat would pass over Beasley because coach Pat Riley wanted a point guard to pair with Wade and worried about Beasley’s character issues. [6/26/08]
