Milwaukee Bucks Best and Worst: November 13 – December 6

Best: Michael Beasley 2.0

We’re roughly six weeks into the Bucks’ season, and Michael Beasley has become somewhat of a fan favorite. If viewed prior to the season, the previous sentence would have seemed downright insane – true or not, Beasley was seen as a locker room cancer and a shot-happy ball-stopper by many.

With the Bucks, Beasley hasn’t improved that much statistically, but he is posting the second-highest field goal percentage and highest three-point percentage of his career. His effect has mostly come in a complementary role, providing a scoring presence off the bench that was severely lacking on last year’s team.

Beasley ranks fourth on the team in points per 36 minutes, and it doesn’t look like a coincidence that five of his six highest-scoring games have resulted in a Bucks’ win.

Between the painted nails, wild hair, foot-on-the-line two point jumpers, and ejections, the Michael Beasley Experience is a wild ride, and Bucks fans looking for a good time should hop on now.
