Beasley talk defense, passing

When focused, Michael Beasley can be one of the most gifted young players in the NBA when it comes to offense.  During his 4 year career, Beasley has never given 100% on defense but that has seemingly changed for the better.

“This is the first year I really applied 100 percent to the defensive side....I’m not really worried about the offense. Offense, I’m just trying to learn the plays. Defense, I’m just trying to be aggressive, trying to kind of guard two people at one time, trying to learn both positions and trying to stay on the glass as much as I can.....I definitely see myself being that guy, the last two minutes of the game, finding everybody and running everything smoothly and also being a key defender on the other side,” Beasley said. “I just want to win. Whatever I can do to help the team. Whatever my coaches and the team ask from me, that’s what I’m going to do.”
