You don’t need a weatherman…

Beasley Rose just happened again, a prelude to the future and something that can and will be certainly overdone by the media. Sure, the summer league is just that, an amateurish exercise without the best players even thinking about the games, let alone being in the vicinity, and as year after year proves, what happens in these summer time scrimmages is no more a predictor of future success than a summer tornado is a predictor of the next, but we can always feel that wind a blowing…

So on this day when Beasley pulled a Durant and rained like hail, hitting and mostly missing but reminding us of awesome nature, we also saw Rose shut down by an erstwhile diminutive guard who won the right to wear some jewelry a few months back. Chalmers did what he does, getting 11 points on 25% shooting showing some range and a fearless drive to the basket (6-7 FTs). But more importantly, and displaying what is going to get him his meal tickets, he had 6 assists to one turnover and 4 steals while holding Rose to 3-8 shooting and forcing 5 turnovers to only 4 assists.

Beasley is what gets them asses in those seats, Chalmers is what gets you a 94-70 win.
