Milwaukee Bucks fans did not really know what to expect, or even think, when the news broke that the Bucks swapped Tyler Ennis for Michael Beasley. Ennis was a quietly solid point guard who didn’t seem to have the next gear in his game to really make a meaningful impact, but he was a fairly known commodity.
Beasley was … not that. After spending part of the NBA regular season in China, where he was fourth in both points and rebounds per game, Beas came back to the U.S. after the CBA season ended and spent 20 strong games with the Houston Rockets, who signed him through 2016-17 before dealing him for Ennis, who later ended up with the Los Angeles Lakers.
