Michael Beasley vs. Kevin Love, by the numbers
TEAMS: Minnesota Timberwolves,  Chicago Bulls,  Miami Heat
PLAYERS: Kevin Love,  Michael Beasley
I'm not advocating anyone taking Kevin Love over Michael Beasley, but take a look at these measurements from the draft combine: Michael Beasley, Kansas State Height: 6'7" (6'8 1/2" in shoes) Wingspan: 7'0 1/4" Standing Reach: 8'11" Body Fat: 7.7% Vertical Jump (no step): 30" Vertical Jump (max): 35" Bench Press: 19 Lane Agility: 11.06 3/4 Court Sprint: 3.24 Kevin Love, UCLA Height: 6'7 3/4" (6'9 1/2") Wingspa...

    Two surprising things jumped right out at me.

    (1) Beasley managed one more rep on the bench press

    (2) Love and Beasley both had the same max vertical.

    Yeah i know i see that. I think both these guys are going to be great Players in the League. Their style of play is different but both are team first/self second type of guys. I think too much is looked into Love being slow footed and all. He's a BIG MAN! of course he's not gonna run like a Gazelle! Both guys are gonna have Long tenures in the league without a doubt.

      Love is probably light years ahead as far as passing, but it will depend entirely upon the teams they end up with and their roles.

    Love is a shuffler, which makes him look slow, but he actually beat Beasley in the 3/4 ct sprint. I think both players are going to be very good. Beasley is special because he can score in so many ways (why Miami is leery about drafting him I do not know), while Love is special because of his terrific passing and good head for the game.

    I'm surprised Beasley can bench more, and that Love has a faster 3/4 court sprint time.
