The New York Knicks continue their search for a backup small forward to play behind Carmelo Anthony. However, at this point in free agency the choices are just about as limited as the Knicks contract options. Who could the Knicks sign for the veterans minimum? How about giving Michael Beasley a chance? Michael Beasley was drafted by the Miami Heat with the 2nd overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft out of Kansas State where he played next to former New York Knicks member Bill Sky Walker. He played for the Heat from 2008-10, the Minnesota Timberwolves from 2010-12, the Phoenix Suns from 2012-13 and returned to the Heat last season. Beasley in an immensely talented and troubled player. He could be a superstar if he were mature and focused on his career. However, throughout the years hes proven to care more about being tough, partying and putting himself before his team. That being said, last season Beasley returned to the Heat for a second time in hopes to rebuilding his reputation. He impressed the league by playing very well, dealing with the pressure of a march towards the Finals and by functioning as a team player.
