39% on low volume (1.2 attempts).
Defense? Depends, which position do you want him to play?  |

13 and 5 on 50/40/78
Remember him torching us in New York.
Not too thrilled for 3.5 but i guess it could be worse. |

He was a prime tank commander for the Knicks last season. |

Most of the room.
Interesting.
Pretty decent numbers offensively last year for a crap NY team. |
He's solid offensively, more efficient than Melo that's for sure. |
Dude can flat out score in bunches.
Very inconsistent and no defense.
but I saw stretches when good teams like Golden State could not stop him once he got going. |

Wow. I assumed he was just camp fodder when I saw the tweet. This is surprising.

That lineup is a disaster defensively. But all of those guys can contribute. Maybe mix some of them in with the starters at various points in the game, but they'd give up a lot of leads.
MB or Kuz as a 6th man is pretty solid, though. Beasley was solid in NY last season. |

| I guess Kuzma is going to be playing the backup 5 off the bench? The bench so far for sure is Rondo, Hart, Lance, and Kuzma. Now Beasley would slide into the 4 position with Kuz at the 5 now, as I don't see minutes for Zubac at the moment and Wagner is a rookie that won't get much burn to start the season. The bench with Kuzma, Hart, and now Beasley can all get buckets when Bron isn't all the floor, so you don't have to worry about the team crapping the bed whenever Bron or Ball aren't on the court. |

Yep I saw this as well.. it's really not a bad signing.

On offense he's going to be good.
Defensively? Whoa.

Good pickup for cheap.
Can't complain about this move though I bet some people here will. |

I think he can be serviceable on defense when motivated. |

He can really get you buckets on the 2nd unit. But unless we're starting Kuz at "PF" and LBJ at "SF" with BI off the bench, how many scoring forwards do we need?

I'm old enough to remember when Magic said he wanted high character guys in the locker room.
It's like we're trying to create the most dysfunctional team in NBA history? |
