Well, at the time, I think most people expected Beasley to be putting up Rookie of the Year numbers in his first season, where as Rose was expected to take a season or two.
It was a question of taking a future star at a key position over taking a big talent at a spot that isn't, generally, as important (SF/PF).
Of course, Beasley has been worse than expected (though I maintain he'd be putting up better numbers on a worse team), and Rose has been FAR better off the bat than I ever expected, at least.
