Patrick Beverley Chi Pro AM (adds muscle)

I hope he's not slower laterally.

Also, did he work on his court vision?

 

Maybe that's why we were trying to hire Billups--we want to give Beverley a role model to aspire towards. Personally I think it's a good match. Billups was another guy who had to work hard on filling his game out, year by year, until he was like 28yrs old and finally a complete player. And they have similar builds, unlike Lowry who looks more like a bowling ball/ninja turtle.

All Ninja Turtle team:
Russell Westbrook
Zach Randolph
Bonzi Wells
Kyle Lowry

All Ninja Turtle team:
Russell Westbrook- Raphael
Zach Randolph-Donatello
Bonzi Wells-Michaelangelo
Kyle Lowry-Leonardo

 

Actually, now that I think about it, Lowry is smarter and Randolph is more experienced, so I'll make it:

Those numbers are pretty generous for Bev, especially the assist. He average just over 2 assist per game last season. So unless Harden gives up some of his ball handling (possible, but unlikely), Beverley won't reach that average. Beside, Beverley isn't the type of player to playmake.

I still think he will improve though.

12ppg, 5rpg, 4apg, 2spg on 45/39 shooting. 2nd Team All Defense

 

Im not trying to be negative but I believe thats wishful thinking IMO. If anything I hope he improves on the assist end of his offensive game as a starting point guard.

 

*dies*

 

I am worried bev is gonna play a ton of mins like parsons. With his bulkier size it will cause fatigue and may lead to injury.

 

Beverly is not a big pg. he needed to get stronger and its good that he did to go against all the starting pgs in the league today.

 

Lowry gets bumped out for Al Harrington

 

Beverley seems like the hungriest guy this offseason! (cue the inevitable Harden weight-gain jokes)

 

If we don't get dragic beverley is going to be the 3rd member of our big 3

 

I've always thought of Westbrook as being more like a Battle Toad.

 

will be interesting to see Beverley show that he is the starting PG for the Rockets. It's all on his shoulders now.

 

See, even fans seem to be all about the money.

 

Pretty sure he did that last season. Now it's on him to build on it.
He certainly seems committed to doing so.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what this team looks like in the coming season with the expected personal growth of young players like Beverley, Harden, and Jones plus the benefit of having a year together and fewer distractions than they had going into last season.

 

holy crap i didn't realize roy hibbert was so big. Tim Duncan looks like a stick compared to him...

 

Just stay healthy Beverley...please.
