Beverley’s Contributions to the Bucks
The Bucks, who now have a record of 33-18 and are third in the East, get a tough guard with a winning mindset. In 47 games with the Philadelphia 76ers, Beverley averaged 6.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 3.1 assists. He made 43% of his field goals, 32% of his three-pointers, and 81% of his free throws throughout that time. He provides support to a Bucks club that was struggling after parting ways with Adrian Griffin and, oddly, bringing in Doc Rivers, the former coach of Beverley’s teams, the Clippers and Sixers
In addition, Beverley has eight years of postseason expertise. He averaged 11 points and over five assists per game on a.429/.346/.682 split while playing for the Timberwolves in 2022.
