Malik Beasley

Beasley signed a one-year deal with the Pistons in the offseason, which means he will play for his sixth team in six seasons. He is coming off a solid campaign in Milwaukee, where he started 77 of 79 regular-season appearances and averaged a career-best 41.3 percent shooting from long range while hitting more than 2.5 threes per game for a fourth consecutive season. He had a minimum of four threes in 31 outings last season, including a season-high eight threes in a season-high 30-point scoring outburst in a road win against the Raptors. He reached the 20-point mark in 10 games and shot a blistering 60.0 percent from the field over those outings. He also hauled in double-digit rebounds on two occasions, including one double-double. Looking ahead, Beasley joins a young core with solid potential, but they owned the worst record in the NBA last season. He will likely play out of a bench role, but his veteran skillset should lead to him getting plenty of playing time and even closing out games with three-point shooting. The Pistons owned the league's fifth-worst three-point percentage, but the additions of Beasley and Tobias Harris in the offseason aim to improve that area.
