I was all for this signing and still am...but he’s definite struggling and he kind of has the same body language as Elden Campbell, Benoit Benjamin, JBC. I think he has to be more locked in and energetic. We’ll see

Is he injured? We could have used his offensive output in this game, he basically did not see much PT.

Another DNPCD for Beasely. In the minutes he has gotten, he hasn't looked very good out there. Some of this may be due to playing out of position, but barring injury to other guys, do you guys think there is a place for him in the rotation?

So far atleast, it isn't looking like it.

There are spots that he was very effective last season that could be applied to our team. He's an excellent finisher, has good off ball movement, and is a great roll man off PnR. He's also a decent playmaker.

Beasley is probably just injury insurance rn, but would love to package him and KCP at the deadline for a useful expiring playoff run kinda guy and maybe a second round pick or something

Hey, OKC wanted him. What if we swap him for Noel (Klutch guy) on 12/15?

Yeah I mentioned trading him on another thread. I thought it was a good signing initially but apparently not. He can't get any run even with Ingram injured. I would trade him and a pick or another player, Zu comes to mind, for a legit backup center.

He had a good preseason. I think he’s capable of doing about what Williams does defensively. His interiors D numbers from last year are good per Bball Index.
I’d like to see him get his opportunities at backup 5 this year.
In the meantime he’s being a good and enthusiastic teammate on the bench

Wow, even with our center woes he can't even get off the bench. I wonder what the story is?

Was Brook Lopez still on the market when we signed this half-asleep dude? Wouldn't Maginka like to have this bonehead move back? All these centers eating us up when Javale sits.

Beasley's PER after five games is -5.5. I have never seen a negative PER before.

Appears that it was either Brolo or McGee. Both wanted the starting spot. The FA game isn't just about money. It's also about playing time which is a factor in the player's future contract

This is surprising b/c he was very effective on the Knicks. Very surprised that Lance has outplayed him but he will be a moveable trade asset come 12/15.

Our ‘ball handlers’ need to get this dude some easy open shots. Luke need to get him to cut for some open layups and dunks... he looks so insecure out there. I watched him with the knicks last yr, confident drives and shooting

Be patient. We the core start kicking, we’ll integrate our bench players 1 by 1. We’ve already had 10 guys can play now. No rush for the rest.

I think it’s more about defense. What upsets me is that he’s about the same frame as Williams but Williams puts in more of an errort on the defensive end. If he can’t out play a guy that wasn’t drafted and actually cut and then resigned then yeah it’s time to move him after 12/15.

Wish he chose OKC. It’s not even just him being terrible, he’s also dumb....very dumb. Hell, his face alone makes me think he’s high all the time.

Such a weird signing in the first place. Travis Wear provided more than anything Beasley can do now.
