Beasley may not play the entire summer league, coaches will evaluate. I understand your concern, but this is a good thing, a culture builder that will pay dividends in the regular season. Keep the faith.
Beasley should use this to go out there and set the young guys up, he needs to work on his passing and decision making, everyone knows he can score.
They can also choose to go. Bev chose to do it after his 2nd year, and I want to say DMo voluntarily went one summer too. I always respect that decision.
Wow. Seriously? Beasley isn't pushing the best players off the summer league roster, he's pushing the very last person off. The odds of that person ever playing in the NBA are probably 100,000 to 1. I'd much rather have Beasley out there working with the new coaching staff and learning the system than have some Division III 3rd-team All-American showcasing himself to try to carve out a D-League career. People here jump on Morey for the stupidest things. <BR>
It's good to see Beasley on the Summer League roster, I hope he gets some playing time in order to see if he can even stop those players from scoring on him at will.
The Rockets personel don't only pay attention to their own SL roster. If someone else stands out form another SL roster they can get give him a contract. Beasly doesn't steal anyone's else position. Besides do you know how few form the SL players actually make it?
is summer league more for evaluation or development? if it's the former, you wouldn't let Capela/Beasley take minutes from other players
I would argue you still need to evaluate Beasley. If he adequately defends someone in Summer League it might be the first time we've ever seen it and it would show development of his game.
It is for introducing the rookies to some kind of NBA level games lol and give a chance of the D-leaguers , internationals if they do well to get an invite to a training camp and make the roster of one team.
I doubt Beasley plays enough to deprive the other guys of their opportunity. I think Bev only played a game and a half or so (and limited minutes) when he volunteered for Orlando SL.
