5-second breakdown
Oh, my god. LaMarcus Aldridge versus Michael Beasley stands out right away. Until seeing those numbers, I almost forgot how good Beasley was at K-State. The Wildcats would have matchup nightmares with T.J. Ford and Chris Mihm, though — not to mention Kevin Durant — which would probably be decisive.
What do you think?
