For as much trouble Michael Beasley has been during his career, it’s hard to believe he’s been able to stick around the league for 10 years. And although he’s been a streaky scorer with discipline issues, he earned himself a pay raise with a bounce-back year last season in New York.
Prior to last year, Beasley had trouble staying on the court for a full season due to off-court issues – namely, drug use.
