Michael Beasley

[Kinglee]

People really want a poor man's Melo the team. Sad.

He's a good player. As long as you aren't paying him too much and bringing him off the bench.

It's like the JR Smith effect. Good enough player as a 6th man w/o a long term commitment and as long as he's really a 3rd option.

Smith was the Knicks 2nd option. Not a good idea.

Beasley is bench scoring. He can play like a 1st or 2nd option, but scoring wise he's no higher than 3rd after KP and THJr

He's not a better scoring option than KP and THJ? In what world?

A guy who struggles creating his shot (KP) and a guy who chucks away (THJ) are betting scoring options than a guy who is clearly more efficient and better at creating his own shot?

People confuse first option with being the best player. Two totally different things. Its a reason why Clyde constantly bitch about Knicks goin to KP instead of Beasley at the end of games. But carry on.

Kingslee isnt wrong. Beasley is our best scorer. KP hopefully will get there in time. Anybody who says different is either a homer or a hater.

KP can’t score without being set up. Beas is a Walking Bucket.

Just because you’re a better scorer, doesn’t make u a barter basketball player. But Beasley is no doubt our best scorer on the team.

agreed, especially about Timmy. Bease is much more consistent than Timmy and isn't going to take the same dumbass shots, like those 3pt shots he takes early in the clock. His shooting percentage is far better yet, his touches are severely reduced when Timmy is back. It should be the other way around. Why Timmy has the green light after being out so long, smh

[NYKAL]

^hell, Bease has been more consistent than KP, just takes less shots. He's earned his props

Because Tim pushes the pace and actually shoots 3's, two things which we needed desperately.

good points. Just wish Timmy wouldn't push it only to pull up at 3pt land before ANYONE on the team has reached half court.

Perhaps, but taking 3's in transition is one of the most efficient times to take one.

not when there is no one in position to rebound and, those long 3, often turned into fast breaks for the opposition. Those pull ups when there is no one else in front of him, the defense still behind, it puts the team in bad defensive positions.

17 points in 13 mins on 78% shooting. Play the man.

Kind of hard to play him when he picks up 5 fouls in 17 minutes. Yes he can score, but there's more to the game than just scoring.

His defense hasn’t been terrible. He rebounds well. I was back and forth with the games today so didn’t realize he had foul trouble.

Yeah. Bad foul trouble today, some earned, some not. He needs help from Noah... KP is a poor rebounder and doesn't bang down low (even KP could use more minutes with Noah). Also, Beas needs more playing time with Burke who sets him up perfectly. Mark my words. If Beas gets consistent minutes with Burke, his efficiency will go even higher.

Damn. My bad on the double post.
