Patrick Beverley

The junkyard dog of the NBA, Patrick Beverley is a guy everyone wants on their team. Known for his hustle plays and gritty defense, Beverley is similar to a modern-day Tony Allen.

Pat is a great example of how heart and hustle can take you far, even in the NBA. Despite not being the most talented player by any means, he has managed to have a positive impact on every team he joins.

Last season, Beverley proved his worth by stepping up in the NBA Playoffs and checking Kevin Durant.

Even with a major size disadvantage, Bev did a great job of forcing KD into difficult situations. Of course, no one is able to stop KD, but Beverley did about as good as you can possibly do against the two-time Finals MVP.

Bev would be like a miniature version of Draymond Green. His presence would do nothing but help the Dubs, and they should be looking to sign him.
