Michael Beasley

 The 2nd overall pick in the 2008 draft is now remarkably entering his 10th season in the NBA at just 28 years old. Michael Beasley has not lived up to the billing that comes with being a top two overall pick, but has found a niche in this league as player who can come off the bench and put the ball in the basket efficiently.

On isolation plays last season Michael Beasley had a PPP of 1.03.  He shot the ball well last season in Milwaukee at 53.2% and had a TS% of .584, a career high. Michael Beasley is also a career 34.7% shooter from the 3-point line.   

The Maryland native’s fit with the Wizards would be providing this team with a versatile swing forward, capable of anchoring the second unit as a designated scorer. His ability to stretch the floor also would make Michael a good fit playing alongside John Wall. He’d also provide an additional wing which is a need as the league as a whole and Boston in particular trends towards positionless play with a roster comprised of nothing but forwards it would seem.
