MILWAUKEE — The Bucks have acquired forward Michael Beasley from the Houston Rockets for backup point guard Tyler Ennis in a deal that beefs up Milwaukee’s frontcourt depth.
The 6-foot-9 Beasley, who was the second overall pick by Miami in the 2008 NBA Draft out of Kansas State, averaged 12.8 points and 4.9 rebounds in 20 games last season for Houston. He was playing in China before signing with the Rockets, where won his league’s Foreign MVP Award while playing for the Shandong Golden Stars.
“We’re excited to add a player with Michael’s skill set to our team,” general manager John Hammond said.
