Do you guys think hes a bust or just not living up to his potential?I think hell grow into a 22 8 guy in 36min but i dont no wat yall think of Him

[KevinDurantRocksParticipant]

does what you say or he averages 12 points and 4 rebounds. Its all based off him

[idunnonymoreParticipant]

yea i know but i think he could double that

[stanford hoops]

He doesn’t fit into bust catagory with the numbers he’s had for a playoff team. I think we see him blow up this year since he will be able to play through mistakes for once like rose,Westbrook, and some of the other rookies have been able to do. Plus no ball dominate Wade

I wanna see how he fits with Minnesota. I hope he plays in Summer League with the T’Wolves squad, but that’s proooooobbbbaably not happening. The T’Wolves have a bunch of tweeners, and I don’t even know that he’ll be that productive or that good a fit with them. He needs to be a 6th man though I think, if he’s in their starting lineup, they’d have NO good defenders and he’d delay Corey Brewer’s improvements and Wes Johnson’s development.

Michael Beasley Is Not a Bust. Just Give Him Some Time
1. Hes Only Played TWO YEARS!
2.Hes Only 21 Give Him Time!
3.Every Statistic Of His Improved From His Rookie To Sophomore Year!
PPG:13.9-14.8
RPG:5.4-6.4
APG:1.0-1.3
SPG:0.5-1.0
BPG:0.5-0.6
MPG:24.8-29.8
4.Last Time I Saw Starting Means That Somebody Is NOT a Bust
5.The Only Thing That Makes People Say That He is a Bust Because they Set too High Expectations from him
If You Expected SOmebody to average 20 points 8 rebounds 5 assists right away, That is just WRONG
6.I Know Hes Still Far From reaching His Potential. People Keep Saying He Has a Bad Attittude
But Give it TIME. Wait at Least a Few More Years Before You JUDGE

Synergy stats show his defense is better then he’s given credit for. He gives up players averages and below. His lack of defense has been I overblown I bet it would suprise people that brewer is a worst defender. He clearly starts over Corey because he’s a better player

@stanfordhoops

Stats can be misleading. The reason he doesn’t play as many minutes as he can? Because he doesn’t defend well. If he gives up players averages and he only plays 29 mpg, that’s not good now is it? His stats probably are higher than they should be because his time is limited due to the lack of playing time he receives due to what? HIS LACK OF DEFENSE! He doesn’t play in the 4th quarter alot of times because he lacks defensive prowess. Watch him play D, nothing about his defense suggests he’s good. And I’m a fan of Michael Beasley. I watch him closely every time he takes the floor. I always watch the K-State guys since there are not many of them in the NBA lol.

He’s better than Corey Brewer yes, but Arron Afflalo is worse than J.R. Smith and he started over him. Dahntay Jones the same. Why did they, despite having lesser talent? Because they DEFEND better than Smith does. If Minnesota was smart, they’d start Brewer to add defense to their starting line-up. Beasley is better as an instant offense player, were his offense would outweigh his D. They probably won’t make him the 6th man though, but the

wolves just drafted wes johnson, lazar hayward. Traded for Martell webater. have Corey Brewer. Have al jefferson and KLove at the pf. Im curious where Beasley gets minutes.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

I expect Jefferson to be traded, so I guess Beasley will either start or back up Love at the four.
