Malik “Malikious Intent” Beasley is improving at such a rapid rate that I’m actually worried about the fate of Gary Harris, and it’s affecting my ability to enjoy Beasley’s rapid ascent. How crazy is that? I’ve been #hypedforgaryharris for so long, and now I’m watching his backup play almost as good as him.
Scratch that. I just checked the percentages, and Beasley is shooting a lot better from the field this season than Harris is. You might dismiss raw shooting percentages as a simplistic statistic for simpletons, so let me present exhibit B: winshares per 48. Beasley is better in this stat as well. So Beasley wins both on simple stats (for simpletons) and advanced stats (for erudite basketball hermits like myself). Exhibit C: Beasley just looks like a beast whenever I make a highlight video for him, and lately, the highlight videos have been happening way more often for Malikious Intent than they have been for Hairy Garris.
The forbidden hashtag…I don’t want to type it, but my hands are acting of their own accord…somebody stop it! Help! Help!!!! AAAAAHHHHHH!
