That's a big if, but tonight was the best game he's played for the Wolves, and it was preceded by his best game at that point so far this season.

He started shooting off the pass for basically the first time ever. He's starting to realize, "hey, I'm wide open now - I dont need to look over the floor and make a move, I can just shoot it". If he does that all the time, he's a hell of a lot better player. Rubio gets him wide open shots.

this game he was aggressively looking to get to the rim and it helped create a lot of open looks.
3 wins in 4 games aint bad
7-4 with Rubio starting.
yeah, Beasley was taking it to the hole and drawing fouls. He's good when he does that. And he was making FTs! In Friday night's game program, he had shot ~.441 from the FT line so far this season to that point. There was no excuse for that.
I'm a long ways from believing he can be a consistent, smart player, but maybe Adelman has got into his head and it can happen. If Beasley somehow turns into a great player, we're a SG away from being a great team.
Wes sucks. He needs to not start and basically never see the floor imo. Webster is going to be a good role player. He can start at SG or SF and take all Wes' minutes imo.
