What was Beverly’s average at Waubonsie Valley and John Marshall Metropolitan High School?
Patrick Beverley is undoubtedly one of the most unique characters the NBA has ever put on the stage. The veteran is known to be someone who always likes to instigate fights and debates in the court. Over the years, we have seen Beverly taunt and vent her anger on her opponents. And in turn, this has always worked to the benefit of the teams he has performed with. Although most people would call this unprofessional or non-sports-friendly, that’s what makes things interesting.
Beverley turned professional back in 2009, as he was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers during the second round of the draft class. He was the 42nd pick overall and there was not much hype surrounding his name. Despite earning an NBA contract, Beverley did not make the final roster cut. He decided to take his talents abroad, performing for teams in the Greek Cup, Russian League and EuroLeague, among others. Before turning professional, Beverley had some notoriety to her name.
