Malik Beasley, a dad who does damage

Pink notebook in Utah since the Beasleys welcomed a little Mia 10 days ago, little sister of Makai who is three years old. The daughter of Malik Beasley was born in the middle of a “road trip” to the East, between two matches against the Hawks and the Wizards, and paradoxically, it was when the nights were shorter that the 6th man of the Jazz played his best basketball with 20 points on average for six matches. All with a big general address: 51% on shots, including 47% from 3-pointers. The former Wolves joker has even become one of the most prolific 3-point shooters with nearly 11 attempts per game since the birth of Mia.

“It’s true that it’s difficult… I’m just trying to get out of it…” says Beasley, who had left his teammates in the middle of a “road trip” to attend the birth. This lack of sleep is so successful for him that he has just, in quick succession, managed his two best performances of the season with 27 points against the Suns, followed by 29 points in Portland. Each time, victories, and important shots to make the difference.

“It was amazing” commented Mike Conley. “His ability to live this experience, to get back on the plane, to come back and play and be just as good… This ability to balance his commitment to the team, his family. It’s just great to see him do it all at once. I know it’s hard and we ask a lot of him, but he’s great. »

Progress in defense

When a journalist asks him his secret, Beasley responds with one word: adrenaline. Even his short stint as starter does not disturb him, and he takes advantage of Will Hardy’s systems to shine, and prove that he is not just a 3-point shooter. “You can see that its growth is increasing” testifies Collin Sexton. “We’re going to need it, especially on the outside. And then, defensively, he communicates and plays really well. » Same impressions at Conley: “He’s just very, very aggressive, on both sides of the pitch. Obviously, he’s going to find his shots and put them in, and he’s going to find places to be aggressive. But defensively he has also improved and he is aggressive on the ball. »

Tired or not, Beasley has chosen not to change anything in his routine and his game, and it’s simply better automation with his teammates that allows him to evolve to the level of a possible best sixth man of the year. “They said that about me? » he asks about compliments from his teammates. “That’s great to hear! I get high as best I can on top players. Then the ball begins to enter more evenly. However, I haven’t changed anything. Whether I score 2 or 30 points, I always keep the same routine. In the end, the numbers always balance out. And the numbers balanced out. So I’m just trying to move on. »
