Stupid Bulls.

Stupid Bulls. In the draft, the picked the hometown guy, flash in the pan, Derrick Rose instead of the clear number 1 (and K-State freshman), Michael Beasly. The Miami Heat took Beasly at number 2, and met up with the Bulls last night.

The Bulls got rocked. Beasly was good. Rose did nothing. Boy, this season ought to be a lot of fun.

Couple of highlights from the S.I. story:

"Beasley scored 28 points in 23 minutes, lifting Miami past Chicago 94-70 Monday in the Orlando summer league opener for both teams."

"He was 9-for-21 from the field, with nine rebounds and 19 points in the second half -- matching the total that Bulls forwards Joakim Noah and Tyrus Thomas, both second-year NBA pros, managed in the entire game. The Bulls started with Thomas guarding Beasley, switched to put Noah on him midway through the first quarter, and neither had much of an answer."

"Meanwhile, Rose had some moments, but simply never took over the game the way Beasley did offensively."

On a side note, the guy guarding Rose most of the night was Mario Chalmers -- the KU player who hit the 3-pointer at the buzzer to send the NCAA championship into over time.

Must be something in that Kansas water.
