Golden State would be a perfect fit for the former No. 19 overall pick. Beasley — who finished in the top-10 in three-point field goals made in three of the last four seasons — is an elite outside shooter.
What Beasley could do for the Warriors
As a player who can connect from three-point land, as well as score in many ways, the veteran two guard could step right into the starting lineup for a team in Golden State that could use his offense.

Also, Buddy Hield had a down season for the Warriors a year ago. Beasley has shown consistency that could ensure Golden State should Hield, or Brandin Podziemski, play below their maximum potential.

With $168.9 million on their books for next season, Golden State is $14.3 million above the salary cap, but could make another worthy investment that could help them overcome the West next season.
