Patrick Beverley was a trade deadline accusation by Milwaukee from the Philadelphia 76ers for guard Cam Payne and a second-round pick. His impact was felt immediately in a debut win vs the Charlotte Hornets. Beverley this season is averaging 5.9 (PPG), 3.0 (Rebounds), 2.8 (Assists) on 40.7 (Field Goal percentage) with his time on both the Philadelphia 76ers and the Milwaukee Bucks.
Giannis Antetokounmpo has called Patrick Beverley an a-hole but explained how its great he’s on the team.
“He’s one of those guys that — sorry for my language — that you say, ‘He’s an A-hole,’” Giannis said. “But when he plays on your team, you’re like, ‘That’s my a-hole.’ You know? And I love him. Sorry for my language, but we love playing with him. He’s a leader, he knows how to play the game. He’s a winner.
“I’ve been playing against him for a lot of years now. I don’t think I ever liked playing against him. He always comes in and mucks the game. He’s like an instigator. He pushes your buttons, but having (him) on your own team, he makes the game easier for us. I love playing with him.”
