Heat F Haslem relegated to backup role (AP)
Without much thought, Udonis Haslem started reciting a long list of players who are good enough to be NBA starters yet come off the bench. He's now one of them. Haslem is out of Miami's starting lineup for the first time in six years, paving the way for Michael Beasley to open at power forward.

Miami liking Beasley's progress
News: Heat second-year PF Michael Beasley, coming off an offseason of turmoil, is ready for the start of the season. "He's making progress. I like what he's done this preseason. I do," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "I keep on pointing to his focus, but I think we were able to cover a lot more ground. I see a quicker application from practice to the games. ... And defensively, he's done some things that I like. He needs to keep on going." Beasley is battling shoulder and thumb injuries, but he'll start at power forward Wednesday against the Knicks. [...]
Beasley switched back to PF, will start
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.
Haslem benched
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.
Beasley has message for critics
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.

News: Heat F Michael Beasley has been thrown into another photo flap.

Team officials also insisted Beasley did nothing wrong. [...]

Beasley may not start
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.

Beasley seems to have better grasp
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. [...]

Beasley has another nice night
Michael Beasley again led the Heat in their preseason win over the Hornets on Thursday, scoring 11 points while grabbing 11 rebounds.
Our View: Beasley looks to have put his tumultuous offseason behind him, and seems primed to improve on his rookie numbers of 13.9 points and 5.4 rebounds from a season ago. He's a solid middle rounds pick.

Beasley's 24 not enough for Heat
Michael Beasley looked like a star on Wednesday in the Heat's 96-91 loss to the Thunder. Beasley scored 24 points and added four rebounds and two assists in the loss.
Our View: Beasley was very solid tonight, and although it is just the preseason, it is very encouraging for fantasy owners. He has a full NBA season under his belt, and he could very well be ready for a breakout year.

Beasley scores 16 in loss
Michael Beasley had 16 points, six rebounds, and two steals in the Heat's 95-93 loss to the Spurs on Sunday. He hit his only attempted three-pointer.
Our View: Beasley hasn't been a totally efficient player in the preseason, but his overall production has been solid. He has been named the team's starting small forward this season and holds considerable more value than his numbers from last season.

Michael Beasley started at SF for the Heat on Monday, finishing with nine points, four rebounds, one steal and two assists in 30 minutes.
