2017 NBA Manifesto
Patrick Beverley
PG, 6’1, 185lbs, 28 years old, 5 years of experience
An almost identical season to other Pat Beverley seasons, save for a spike in rebounding. Beverley filled his role as well as ever, and there is no reason to assume that will stop happening any time soon. But Bever-ley has to want that. It appears he doesn't. And that's a shame, because the perfect parallel to a point guard-minded player in a shooting guard's body who you absolutely do not want to have to guard point guards full time [Harden] is a combo guard in a point guard's body who absolutely wants those same assignments. Beverley has it good here, and it's a shame if he doesn't see that.
Player Plan: Two years and a combined $10,540,542 remaining, the last year of which is not fully guaranteed. Beverley is a key role player and defensive guard on a team that lacks for players who can keep opponents out of the paint. But only if he wants that. If he does not want to be here, he will surely command some trade value, but it would be a shame.
