He is a really really bad defender
He's Beasley 2.0 Tries hard, but just gets his hips turned too easily and can't stay squared up.
If you put Ja Morant's desire to attack in Anthony Edwards we'd have the next coming of Michael Jordan. He just repeatedly puts pressure on the rim. Very rarely do you see him just settle for an outside shot. I wish that's how Ant was because he would be nearly unstoppable. Loves to take that pull-up, though. Hopefully, he'll learn as he gets more experience. I always remember that quote of his where he says he doesn't know what a "bad shot" is and that he just goes out and plays.

Beasley is in the right spots though. Nowell isn't
By the way, Chris Finch deserves some blame here. I like him as much as the next guy, but Minnesota has gone away from pick and roll almost completely. Making it more difficult than it has to be.
