Malik Beasley was selected with the 19th overall pick in the NBA Draft by the Denver Nuggets. Beasley is the first Florida State basketball player drafted in the 1st round since Chris Singleton in 2011, and the 11th 1st rounder in school history.
It was a bit of a surprise when Beasley announced he was leaving after his freshman season, but it turns out he received great advice due to the lack of shooters in the draft.
Despite having just average size for an NBA 2-guard, Malik moved up the draft boards due to his explosive athleticism and ability to shoot.
