Heat Draft Beasley, Jackson and Acquire Chalmers
The Miami Heat selected Michael Beasley with the 2nd pick in the draft. After much discussion about who the Heat was going to take, the Heat chose Beasley, the consensus #2 pick but probably the player with the most talent in the entire draft. Riley commented that Randy Pfund and the other members of the Heat’s scouting department “made sure” Beasley was the pick the Heat phone in. So, give them a huge assist.
The Heat also drafted Darnell Jackson with the 52nd pick, a forward from Kansas that helped the Jayhawks to the national title.
The Heat also made a trade, acquiring fellow Jayhawk Mario Chalmers who is best known for his clutch shot to put the title game into overtime and extend the Jayhawk comeback. The Heat traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves two future second round picks to acquire Chalmers. There is a possibility that Chalmers could be the starting point guard for the Heat.
