Coming off the bench has been a good thing.
It’s so strange Beas can run around two screens, rise up with a hand in his face and nail the three but can’t hit an open spot up. Mental?
So he likes to be moving when he’s shooting
People suggesting they cut him out of the rotation are idiots. You have to live with his streaky shooting. He is gonna be huge for any hope of a deep run.
I noticed he’s just way more consistent on handoff 3s. He usually misses wide open 3s, but if he’s running around a screen, he makes it
28% on spot up 3s is crazy lol
Anyone know the laker presale code for tickets today? for play in/playoffs
if we win the championship itll be because he stepped up
Would love to see stats on what % of each category is open vs contested
So he’s shooting better with defense in his face vs wide open? That’s all mental right there. Too much pressure when left wide open. Teams might start leaving him open on purpose maybe?
Troy Brown Jr also hit a pretty insane, leaning left three towards the corner last night. Even Stu Lantz was impressed lol
This was known when we picked him up. He was a 43% shooter off screen. When he had the fire hot game vs the Pels, I thought we had learned from our mistakes. No!
I hope we continue to keep him on the move.
Guys who can nail stationary corner 3s are just more valuable in a Lebron led offense.
Laker fans are bipolar as fuck. Minute by minute…
Calm the fuck down, every time someone’s in a slump it’s not time to burn the house down.
I knew Beasley would be back to old self. He’s a flamethrower. Very elite 3 point shooter.
Look at what he posted right under that. He’s been a good spot up shooter most of his career. He’s due for positive regression.
The team probably already knew what kinds of shots Beas likes to and can make. The point now is how to give him those shots in the flow of the offense. Some practice and familiarity within the team should help.
anyone know what d’los transition pull up 3 percentage is? my money’s on 70%
Just play to his strengths as much as possible. If you can get him the handoff or off screen try that but only give him spot up if he’s open?
