The Bulls have no choice come June 26th in New York City: Take Michael Beasley.

He has the ability and size to become one of the top forwards in the league in just his rookie season. 

Beasley averaged 26.5 points (third in the nation) and 12.5 rebounds (first) last season as a freshman, and set the National Freshman and Big 12 records for double-doubles in a season. On top of that, he shot 53.2 percent from the field and 37.9 percent from behind the arc, giving him the ability to both play down on the block and bring it out to show the range.

In other words, this is a no brainer.

I'm tired of this talk of Derrick Rose, as well. I'll concede he is a good player and it may be hard to find a point guard that can run in the NBA, but I won't concede that he can have as big an impact as Beasley in his first year.

Beasley is a 6'9", 235-pound animal that can go bang inside and still pop outside and hit the shot. Players that are this special and this size don't come along that often, and I believe he will be the rookie to make the biggest impact on the game since LeBron James was selected in 2003.

Add to this the fact that the Bulls already have a good point guard in Kirk Hinrich, so, unless they plan on blowing up the roster, Beasley quickly becomes the better pick in the current situation. It would net a starting five of Hinrich, Gordon, Deng, Noah and Beasley. That's a pretty impressive lineup when you look it over; even if it is a little small, it's something that you'd think you can win with. 

So with all respect to Derrick Rose, I think that the Chicago Bulls need to take Michael Beasley with the first overall pick in the NBA Draft. I think he is a better fit with the Bulls' current roster situation, and that he has the ability to be an immediate impact player.
