From that point on, you couldn’t interview Michael Beasley without someone asking about it, usually while you were trying to ask a question that, you know, hadn’t been asked 20,000 times already. That’s kind of the nature of media — once somebody runs with...

Filed under: Bulls , Heat , NBA Draft Heading into Thursday's NBA Draft, one question that's on everyone's mind is who will be taken with the top pick, Derrick Rose or Michael Beasley ? Should the Bulls, who draft at No. 1, pick a future star who can run their offense in Rose, or should they go after a forward who can dominate the glass and score from anywhere on the floor in Beasley?
