Poe Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I'm just wondering what your opinions are. Will Beasley be ready to play the position by next year (especially with his current issues)? Or would you rather have one of the other SFs starting (Q-Rich, Jones, Dorell, Yahkouba)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 It will be Beasley hopefully if not Dorrell who if healthy is going to be a stud for us this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erick Blasco Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 If he gets his personal life straightened out, it's Beasley. If not, I've always liked Jones' defense and ability to shoot the three. The rest of the guys don't offer too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 I'd say Beasley will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poe Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 (edited) It will be Beasley hopefully if not Dorrell who if healthy is going to be a stud for us this year.I hope he will be healthy and getting good PT. When his mind is in the right place, he really is a good player. Better than Jones and Q-Rich, IMO. It would be a shame to see his talent and athleticism go to waste.

Owner Real Deal Posted September 7, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 There's no reason to say anyone other than Beasley. I wouldn't worry too much about his rehab. It will help him focus on the NBA, probably do him quite a bit of good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poe Posted September 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 (edited) I just watched a vid of a summer press conference with Pat Riley (Link), and it sounds like the starting SF position is still up for grabs. He expects Beasley to have a much larger role this year, although he didn't say whether or not he's going to start. He said some good things about James Jones, and also said stuff about him "setting records" this offseason. He spoke a bit about Q-Rich, but it looks like the SF will be his secondary position since Riley said that he considers him to be more of an off guard that can also play the 3 because of his strength. He said good things about his post-up ability, though, and says that he could be the team's best post up player (better than O'Neal and Beasley). He also spoke a bit about Dorell's versatility in being able to play the 2, 3, and 4 positions. My take on this is that James Jones will be most likely to start at the SF with Beasley gaining big minutes off the bench at the 3 and 4, and perhaps starting some games depending on match ups. I was hoping that Dorell would get a bigger opportunity to get minutes this year. I think the Heat could really use his all-around game, especially on the defensive end. Maybe he still has a chance, though, since the starting 3 isn't on lock just yet, so everyone still has a chance to compete for the position.
