Micheal Beasley-The kid has it, inside/outside game, and great defense. With his natural size and god given talent, I have no doubt that college to pro will be an extremley easy transition for him....

There's a lot of young talent that could make a splash to the pros this year.......You have to go with Brandon Rush out of Kansas...ROy HIbbert, OJ Mayo, Augustine out of texas, Beasley and Walker from Kstate, Love from UCLA, Hansborough if he comes out.....But Beasly is probably the sure number 1 pick when he comes out

The answer to this lies in " March Madness " . The " golden boys " usually come as the stanouts in this tournament . To take a guess now would be " dumb " !

Im thinking 2 People. Micheal Beasley, and, Taylor King. Micheal Beasley has it going on from just about anywhere. He shoots the 3, he'll dunk on you, he's all up in your face on defence. He's just incredible. And.....Taylor King. He's gotta be one of the best 3 pt shooters in the nation in the NCAA. He'll shoot right over you when your up in his face, he'll drive on you, rebound over you, block you, steal it from you, take your cookies, kick your dog, take your girl out on the town, go around you, through you, dribble between your legs, grab a martini, and still make it home in time for dinner. He's my #1 pick

im going to go with tyler hansborough, in only 3 years of playing he is on the all time leading scoring and rebounding in north carolina, and he also is very quick and a good free throw shooter

Tyler Hansborough continues dominate even when you think he shouldn't. As UNC games continue to come down to the wire he is always there with the big board or bucket. I don't think this translates into him being a great NBA prospect. There are tons of athletes playing college ball who have not yet honed their skills completely. The athletes with the most promise in the NBA in my opinion are Beasley, Love, Mayo, Rush, and Hibbert. As of right now Beasley seems the most NBA ready of all the talent and the one who will make the most immediate impact in the NBA no matter what team he lands with.

So many great looking ballers, But I'll go with Kevin Love. He gets double teamed and then double doubles them. I hope he stays @ UCLA to give them a chance at a championship or 2. like Hanborough said he would. He said he was there to win a championship. I don't think he will turn pro next year. He just wants to enjoy the college game and have fun before he cashes in.

I'm sorry, while I respect your pick, Micheal Beasley's the only way to go. Averaging a double double, this kid did'nt have to go to college, he could have gone out of high school but made a smart move. I f he stays through eligability he'll have that much stronger of a game. This kid IS the next great prospect...

How about Derrick Rose from Memphis he is a point guard that can create his own shot and has a nack for finding the basket he can pass and score and the way the N.B.A. is setup is to spread things out and let guys showcase there talent he might emerge to be a Dwayne Wade caliber player!! Beasley is a beast and can do it all i just see his game as a little lazy and it makes me think of Derricck Coleman all over again a guy who will start his career of fast and will fall of after a few years
