Michael Beasley has recently shone for the New York Knicks during the absence of Kristaps Porzingis. He has shown the natural ability to score the ball that got him drafted in 2008 by the Miami Heat. Now he finds himself on the Los Angeles Lakers alongside Lebron James. How will he fit in during his second stint alongside Lebron? Will he shine on the bench with his extreme level of talent? Or struggle to fit in. I firmly believe he will dominate on the bench alongside Rajon Rondo, Lance Stephenson, and Kyle Kuzma. His isolation scoring and the calmer demeanour he now has on the court will do him wonders. But how has he gotten to this point? Many players taken at the top of NBA drafts have failed to pan out and busted as a result in the NBA. Guys like Kwame Brown, Hasheem Thabeet, Johnny Flynn, and many many more have been taken in the top 5 and been out of the league without ever filling their potential. But one of the most intriguing busts in NBA history has to be Michael Beasley, the player taken after Derrick Rose in the 2008 draft, and just before Russell Westbrook and Kevin Love. But since being drafted he has been surrounded by controversy, being caught smoking marijuana in his rookie season, speeding, going to both rehab and China, Beasley has seemingly done it all. But at the same time, his immense talent has kept teams coming back to him to provide an offensive spark. But just how good was and is Beasley? Is he a supreme talent that has been mismanaged and mismanaged himself? Or is he simply not good enough for the NBA.
