Have different playing styles. Sorry, should have been more clear.
I think the obvious larger point isn't that "Beasley is an ISO scorer" -- that isn't a bad thing, rather the point being made was that ISO scoring is all Beasley is good for (with poor efficiency). The difference in rates above show that Mayo is also more of a facilitator.
Nevertheless, Mayo isn't used as an ISO scorer as much since he's the third option at best on his own team. He's been foremost a catch and shoot player for them for nearly two years running. He has a skillset to create open shots -- off the ball -- that Beasley doesn't bring to the team.
This is my point though; you're comparing what was basically a #1 option (Beasley, no matter how bad he might be at it) to a role player (Mayo). Of course their playing styles are going to be different, they're asked to do completely different things.
Now, Mayo is a better passer, I'm not disputing that. But the guy was an ISO player when he was asked to be a scorer in his first season or two. It's not a bad thing either, just how it is/was.
As for Beasley, he played more or less off the ball in Miami and, advanced statwise, was probably better at it. So he can do it, although maybe not the same as Mayo.
