- In CBS Sports' Gary Parrish's latest NBA mock draft, Malik Beasley is projected as the No. 26 overall pick to the Philadelphia 76ers.
Malik Beasley, SG, Florida State: Beasley is a guard with decent size who is a tremendous athlete and good-enough shooter -- evidence being that he made 37.8 percent of his 3-point attempts at FSU. He's a reasonable option for a Philadelphia franchise with three first-round picks.
