Neil Olshey wrote:MICHAEL Beasley. A fabulous athlete. His length, quickness, jumping ability and strength combine to make him one of the most difficult matchups. He has range from anywhere on the floor all the way out to the three, but is especially effective with his soft touch around the rim. His left handed jump shot is a thing of beauty, with a smooth release. He has good arc and is very balanced getting his legs under him to get great elevation. Most dangerous out of the mid-post where he can square his man up and attack with a variety of moves; including strong takes to the hoop, a nice midrange pull-up, or simply shooting over the top of helpless defenders. You know, people forget that it wasn't that long ago that he was the #2 pick in the draft. A guy many organizations coveted.

But with Booker now having made it farther than CJ or Lillard, is his value greater than Lillard's? And if his value isn't greater than Lillard's then does that imply that PHX's roleplayers are making a huge difference in their post-season success?
