Beasley played one season at Kansas State, trailblazing in his sole year as the Big 12 Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year. He averaged 26.2 points, 12.4 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks. The Miami Heat selected Beasley with the second overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, where he spent two seasons before becoming an NBA journeyman.

DAVID N'GUESSAN OFFICIALLY GRADUATES FROM KANSAS STATE

Former Kansas State forward David N'Guessan officially graduated from the university Saturday.

It's a cemented goodbye to the Wildcats star who spent three seasons with the school.

N'Guessan averaged 13.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks last season. It was a career season for the Wildcats veteran, as he headlined a squad with all newcomers in the starting lineup. N'Guessan likely won't be selected in the Draft but a star season fueled his confidence to throw his hat in the ring.
