After having him play at small forward for much of the preseason, the Heat have decided to start Michael Beasley at power forward this season, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
Our View: Long-time starter Udonis Haslem will come off the bench, while Miami newcomer/journeyman Quentin Richardson will start at small forward. Despite being undersized, Beasley seems like a good bet to improve on his 2008-09 rookie numbers of 13.9 points and 5.4 rebounds per game.

It has been revealed that long-time starter Udonis Haslem will come off the bench for the Heat this season, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
Our View: He is being replaced in the starting lineup by Michael Beasley. This is obviously not good for his fantasy value, as he is not likely to average 8.2 rebounds per game coming off the bench.

Michael Beasley blasted skeptics of his move from power forward to small forward on Monday, saying "If you don't think I can play it, all I can tell you is sit back and watch," according to the Miami Herald.
Our View: "I don't have a natural position. I'm comfortable on the floor no matter what, if you're asking," he elaborated. It's good for the Heat that he is taking the challenge head on, and he seems likely to improve on his rookie numbers of 13.9 points and 5.4 rebounds per game this year.

Michael Beasley might not necessarily start for the Heat this season, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
Our View: The team is in no mood to just hand him a starting job after his tumultuous offseason. That being said, he is clearly one of Miami's five best players, and after averaging 13.9 points and 5.4 rebounds as a rookie last season - in addition to having a monster preseason this year- he will see starter's minutes sooner rather than later.

News: Heat F Michael Beasley, the No. 2 overall draft pick in 2008, had 11 points and 11 rebounds in 28 minutes Thursday against the Hornets. He's trying to make the conversion from power to small forward and put behind him a monthlong stint at a drug rehabilitation center in the offseason. The 20-year-old came into the preseason in better shape than a year ago and seems to have a better grasp on the NBA game. He shot 5 of 11 and had three assists -- along with a few defensive mistakes in the post -- after scoring 24 points in 38 minutes against Oklahoma City on Wednesday. [...]
