Who among these players can Michael Beasley beat 1 vs 1? I realize 1 game can go either way especially with pros. But I mean if they played multiple times, would Beasley have the edge? How many of these players can he beat in a majority of 1 vs 1s, if any? Again, this is today, not his or anyone's prime. As an added bonus, who's the best 1 vs 1 out of the group including Beasley? Good off-season content if any more 1 vs 1s happen. I'd like to see Beasley vs Joe Johnson since he's been playing in the Big 3 very recently and dominating.
Context:
Micheal Beasley has been getting a lot of attention regarding his one on one skills. He recently said he beat Lebron several times one on one in reference to this thread:

Note that the majority of RealGM voters believed Beasley did beat Lebron (myself included). Since then, there have been a lot of back and forths on who he can beat. A lot of NBA players respect and vouch for his skills. I'm genuinely curious how he would do against these players TODAY.
He has already played and beaten Lance Stephenson recently:

Carmelo's response to Beasley. Says he should play Rudy Gay instead, but respects his game and what he's doing:
Beasley says Bam Adebayo is the only player to beat him 1 vs 1. He said "everybody" else tried while he was on the Heat...implying he also beat Lebron, Wade and Bosh:

Iso Joe is too composed. Beasley would be so shook he'd probably take his ball and go home.

Re: Michael Beasley 1 vs 1 right NOW
It's mind boggling how good they still look. NBA players are so darn good. I know they played professional ball relatively recently, but still, they are just so big, so skilled. Based on this video, Beasley might beat all three non-active, older players, even though they were better in the NBA.
