Of course, Beasley is still eligible to return to school unless he decides to hire representation. He will at least be able to participate in the combine and gauge his stock. Beasley was the second-leading scorer for the Seminoles this season, averaging 15.6 points along with 5.3 rebounds this season.
Beasley is currently projected as the no. 18 overall pick in a 2017 Mock Draft on DraftExpress.com.
