    Beverley's defense is very valuable because of how much he's able to disrupt an offensive rhythm, with that being said he should not be running an offense...just like how Avery Bradley doesn't run an offense...instead of Francisco Garcia, I would like to see Beverley and Lin on the court together, it worked with Douglas and Lin.

    I agree with having him on the floor with Lin or Harden. He may even do well with Aaron Brooks out there with him. Until his offense is up to par, they need a scorer out there.
    One thing for sure, the team defense is always better with him on the floor. The team also has better balance when he plays alongside Harden.

    i am more interested in whether he can develop the capability of getting the offense going. our offense doesn't look good when he is the primary ball handler.

    when we need to ruin the tempo of opponent's offense and retake the control of the game, just put him there.

    Because both Lin and Harden are combo guards, I don't see why we can't have Bev and one of them on at the same time. This will give Harden room to rest as well.

    Beverley has never been a guy that can really run and offense. He's always been a midget shooting guard with good ball handling and some play making.

    Beverly doesn't even look for his shot out there. Liability, but he is really good defensively.

    Good game by Beverley. He's what we need at back-up PG more so than TD!

    I think he does well, not sure why people complain about him. He's doesn't seem comfortable scoring on his own, but he's pretty good at getting the ball to other people. At least that's what I see. And he is a pest on defense.

    Got to admit that was pretty funny. Need to see more of that from Bev, recently he's been passing up too many open looks. It would be nice to see him hit those open threes instead of looking to get the ball out of his hands like a hot potato.

    Beverly's defense is REALLY good, but he doesn't run our offense that well. When Brooks was in the game (still rusty and getting the feel of the team) he ran the offense much better but Quin was scoring more. I think its a double edged sword.

    Well he has been shooting pretty dismally lately (with the exception of todays game), so I assume his confidence is just shaken up - hopefully this game boosts it a bit.

    One thing about Beverley, he can really fill up the boxscore. Whether it's rebounds (even offensive), assists, steals, and blocks. Underrated shot blocker for a guard.
