BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 48% of leagues
ANALYSIS: A Sixth Man of the Year candidate (and, let's be honest, most-probable winner judging by what has happened to date) rostered in fewer than half of all ESPN leagues!? Give me all of those shares!
With the Utah Jazz still keeping their record (somehow) up and into the top half of the Western Conference standings, and with Jordan Clarkson starting games this season, Beasley has been the man tasked with heating things up from the pine on a very particular microwave role. And he's been thriving at it.
Beasley has appeared in 21 games already and he's been absolutely unstoppable since the second week of November. From the start of the season to Nov. 4 Beasley was averaging a nice 10-3-1-1 per-game line in 25 MPG. From Nov. 6 on he's played 28 MPG in 11 games and counting, he's putting up 17+ PPG, 5 RPG, 1+ APG, and 1 SPG and he's hitting 4.3 (!!!) 3PM per game.
In the past eight days through Friday, Beasley has scored at least 10 points in four of the five games he's played and he's reached 27+ in three of those four. He's scored at least one 3-point shot in 15 consecutive games and he's averaging a bonkers 4.6 3PM a pop in the past two weeks. Those are unheard-of numbers, no matter how you slice them.
Just for context, only two players (Steph Curry and Donovan Mitchell) are scoring 4+ 3PM per game through the full season to date, and only five including Beasley are shooting 41%+ while scoring 3.3+ 3PM a pop.
Beasley is also reaching gaudy numbers on the glass (4+ RPG on the season) to go with 1+ SPG and 1+ APG per game. That's something only the Jazzman and Russell Westbrook are doing coming from the bench this season with all other qualified players starting games nightly.
