With your 3-point shooting and spacing, in what ways has that made things easier for Cade? Malik Beasley: “We’ve grown tremendously. After the first 30 games, he’s starting to realize that he has the nail help. For example, if I’m on the side and he’s driving at the nail to the free-throw line to get a pull-up, last year there would be a defender there helping him. This year, the defender has to stay close to me.
So he has about four extra feet to work with, and he’s starting to realize that. At one practice, I said, ‘You probably don’t realize how open you’ve been, huh?’ And he said, ‘Nah, I haven’t!’ I said, ‘Listen bro, we got you.’ So we’re all using each other. The best thing about our team is our chemistry.”
