Beasley, to me, is the very obvious choice for starting sg. not that i'm really excited about it, but that's the kind of player you want on the court with Giannis.

i'm sure that many fans who have been forced to root for Beasley have had the same hope, but if he could just adjust his shot selection a tiny bit he could be very good for us. he shouldn't be trying to shoot over people too much. just take the shots that are there, and keep the ball moving if it's not. you have Giannis and Dame next to you. it should be pretty easy.

I also think Beasley will start. If he shows a lot of weakness in defense, Pat will come in to play.

I see this poll as Bucks realgm personality test :

1. Marjon B. : The 2 way enthusiasts 26%
2. M. Beasley : The minimum salary breakout year enthusiasts 16%
3. Pat: The settled veteran with zero potential improving 27%
4. AJ Green: The realists who believe we desperately need 3p long archers
5. Andre Jackson: The rookie enthusiasts 24%

I'm probably already changing my vote. If Beas is gonna hoist shots like this then let him.

Beas looked great last night but part of that to me is the starting group included Robin & Pat so Beas was the true 3rd option. I still don't like his fit when the other two starters are Khris & Brook

Not one mention of defense here, which is a major factor in at least half the votes.

Voted for Beas.
The uncontested shots with the starters maximizes his value to the team vs contested shots off the bench.

9-man rotation:
BP, PC, CP, JC.

10th man/X-factor/spark plug:
AJacks.
Griff is going to have a hard time keeping him off the floor as the season goes on.

Outside looking in/Injury replacement/LMW (Load Management Warrior (Nwora 2.0)):
Marjon.

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
