The return of Patrick Beverley

[Lipoli390]

Some other nice post-all star game performances from players the Wolves dealt for Rudy:

Kessler: 18 rebounds and 7 blocks
Vando: 9 rebounds and a +16 in 18 minutes
Beasley: 26 points, 3 steals, shooting 7-11 from behind the arc

Most recent performances from some players the Wolves likely could have acquired for substantially less than they gave up for Gobert:

Markkanen: 43 points, 10 rebounds
DeJounte Murray: 25 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists
Myles Turner: 40 points, 10 rebounds

PatBev is averaging less than 5 PPG and has made 2 out of 13 threes since he joined Chicago...a continuation of what he produced in LA the rest of the season. We dodged a bullet there, if there was ever a bullet to dodge.

That's somewhat interesting because if I remember correctly he had actually righted the ship in his 3 point shooting the last couple months.

I think the main thing is that so far most of us would rather see NAW get minutes instead of Beverly. He has been at least somewhat effective and we may as well see what he has going forward.

Sometimes the best move is the one you don't make. Agree on PatBev. And actually, once we traded for Conley, I think it reduced the need for a second game manager/vet type PG. But PatBev had a nice impact on the team last year. His 1.7 VORP was third on the team behind Towns/Edwards, and ahead of DLO. I'm still thinking some of his decline is situational vs. actually losing ability. But yeah - he hasn't been good this year at all.

Edit - just found this interesting tidbit:
