Malik Beasley: Slow and Steady Wins the Race

The Denver Nuggets selected Florida State’s shooting guard Malik Beasley with the 19th pick of the NBA Draft. Beasley is not being rushed into action as he recovers from offseason leg surgery and he has yet to see the court in Vegas. While he hasn’t seen playing time yet, he’s still putting in work in the desert:

Beasley also signed his rookie contract on Tuesday morning, according to the Denver Post’s Malika Andrews and others:

Let’s all hope Mr. Beasley is healthy and ready to make an impact for the Nuggets when training camp kicks off later this summer. It will be exciting to see Beasley take the court for the Nuggets whenever it does happen.
