This Is The Year Michael Beasley Shapes Up

Michael Beasley has always tantalized NBA teams with his athleticism and scoring ability. Unfortunately, he’s always failed to stick around with teams, due to his questionable behavior on and off of the court.

His latest landing spot is Milwaukee, and according to all accounts he’s finally ready to turn a new leaf. Beasley has still shot too often in the preseason, but it’s not too late for him to make smarter decisions.

He’s clearly got the talent to make an impact on the NBA. Beasley turns 28 in January, so he’s far from ancient, even by NBA age standards. He’s also 6’9″ with a seven foot wingspan, which explains why he’s such a great rebounder.

If Beasley can stop shooting literally every time he touches the basketball and abstains from getting in trouble off of the court, he could really end up sticking around with the Milwaukee Bucks.

That’d obviously be good for both parties. It’s been a full month now since Beasley was acquired, and so far everything has been roses. Hopefully that keeps up, and Michael Beasley goes from punchline to productive bench contributor.
