Question

Why does ESPN do a rookie coverage for Michael Beasely, No.2 pick, but not Derrick Rose, the No.1 pick?

Answer 1

They're smart enough to know that Beasly is going to be better than Rose, rookie year and throughout their careers. Besides, Beasly's more fun to cover anyway. He's a fun loving guy.

Answer 2

just because somebody was picked as the #1 pick doesn't mean that they were the best player in the draft. I think that beasley will be putting up bigger numbers faster than rose would

Answer 3

Beasley has alot of "upside". He is a good player with alot of potential. I was honestly hoping that the Bulls would take Beasley and not Rose because the Bulls already have a good PG in Hinrich, but now that Gordon is talking about going to play in Europe, I think that the choice of Rose may help fill the void at SG.

Answer 4

They gotta cover the best player.They didn't follow Kwame or Michael olabacandi whatever his name is...

Answer 5

Beasley hasnt been arrested.

Answer 6

idk probably because they feel Beasley is the better player which i agree with..even if they had approached Rose about doing this i think he'd decline because he seems like a really shy guy..in front of the cameras at least..
