Interesting interview posted at the Heat's website with Michael Beasley, with the forward discussing his offseason workout plans and pursuits. Two questions, in particular, and their responses catch your eye. Heat: Are there any areas of your game you're working on this summer? Beasley: "I'm working on the things a shooting guard or a small forward would work on. I do a lot of screen work, a lot of jump shots, and ball handling, a lot of stuff point guards do. I know I may never play the one or two, but I feel if I work on those skills, it will be harder to guard me. I do a lot of stuff that Chauncey Billups does. I think he's the best point guard in the NBA, especially coming off screens. Why not try to emulate that? I feel like if I can add that to my game, I will be a tougher matchup." Heat: Because you do play a lot of power forward, are you planning on putting on more weight? Beasley: "I'm fine with my weight. I'm going to stay thin. I'm already undersized, so if I can't move, I can't play my game. I want to focus on being quicker at my position." So is that it? Didn't Erik Spoelstra speak last season about how Michael was going to fill into his body? Wasn't the "power" part of power forward supposed to be the given? There is plenty to be said about being versatile, honing perimeter skills. The effort is laudable. But there also is plenty to be said about having enough bulk to finish at the rim, or over the rim, absorb contact and have the strength to persevere. The perimeter skills are already there. Giving up on the power game, the muscle game would be a shame -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 60.250.42.34
