“On the ninth day of Bucksmas, Milwaukee sent to me…nine shots from Beasley, eight retired numbers, seven years of Ray Ray, six games with Big Three, five months no Khash, four more years of Plumlee, three second rounders, two cornerstones, and a Greek Freak at the 15th.”

Acquired this offseason for Tyler Ennis, Michael Beasley is a scoring machine off the bench for the Bucks. He is not a great defender nor is he a great passer, but he is only called upon to do one thing, and he does that one thing.

As Uncle Drew has taught us, “Basketball is about one thing: getting buckets.” And to put it simply, B-Easy gets buckets.

On a per-36 minute statistical line, Beasley is averaging close to 20 points as well as snagging 8.3 rebounds this season. His ability to knock down jumpers and his baby fadeaway is in large part making the Bucks bench much improved from last season.

He is a high volume shooter, and nine shots from Milwaukee’s #9 is right around what you can expect on one of those nights when he is feeling it from the floor.
