Beasley or Durant?

I enjoyed watching Durant play far more than I do Beasley - but I think Beasley is slightly a better player.
Durant is a great player, but if I had to choose between these two I would choose Beasley. He is a more stronger player and I think he has a better pure shooter.
brackins, because brackins will be around a few years, while beasley will be gone after this season
Durant, hands down. I really believe that Durant - while literally a one-man wrecking crew last year - was more of a team player. The times that I heard him interviewed, I always felt that he was fairly humble and a "good" person who represented their university well.
I also don't know Beasley personally. However, in the interviews I have read or seen, combined with his demeanor, all scream "punk!" Don't get me wrong, he is a MONSTER basketball player. I just don't see him as a team-first type of player. I see him more of the mold of Terrell Owens and Randy Moss (pre-Patriot era).
In fact, in a recent game Beasley was praising Frank Martin for the great coaching move that was implemented. What was that great move?--- Letting him remain in the game even though he was in foul trouble. I'm not necessarily questioning the coaching as much as I am pointing out the vanity and the inflated ego displayed.
Of course, I tend to NOT think very highly of most recruits that made their way to Bob Thuggins's doorstep. So my objectivity may be clouded quite a bit.
BTW, prior to last year I had never had any real animosity toward KSU. But right now, I want nothing more than the Thuggins/Martin experiment to quickly explode and go down in infamy. Once this happens, I will go back to only slightly disliking the Wildcats.

Maybe it was because Durant played for Texas and I like Texas, but I would choose him. Plus I hate KSU so much!
I'd go with Beasley. I think it's harder to find dominant post players, than dominant perimeter players.
Agreed, but the difference between Durant and a normal perimeter player is several inches!! I would have to take Durant because he was probably the most enjoyable basketball player I have ever watched that wasn't wearing an ISU jersey!
reason i said durant is not only did the guy play awesome.. he seemes like he had a better head on his shoulders the beasley does..just my opinion tho
