When looking at the success of the Detroit Pistons this season, there are many factors that can be attributed to it. Among the most notable is the addition of Malik Beasley, who has managed to uplift the group in a variety of ways.

Beasley has been shimmying plenty these days. During the Pistons’ eight-game winning streak, Beasley has averaged more than 20 points per game while hitting 51.8 percent of his 3-pointers. His emergence has helped the Pistons overcome the Jan. 1 injury to Jaden Ivey and surge toward the franchise’s first playoff berth since 2019.

After passing on his talents during the 2016 NBA Draft, the Detroit Pistons are surging with Malik Beasley this season.
