MILWAUKEE — New Milwaukee Bucks guard Patrick Beverley did not waste any time making himself at home with his new team. Beverley urged young players to sit right in front of the TV during the team's film session prior to Friday's 120-84 victory over the Charlotte Hornets.
He grabbed a clipboard on the sidelines during a team huddle and appeared to be shouting directions. Bucks coach Doc Rivers said he heard Beverley repeating defensive calls from coaches on the sidelines.
Beverley even made a play-call on the floor, but mistakenly used a play Rivers said he hasn't had in his playbook since their days with the LA Clippers. «The way I go about things, I'm not going to make everyone happy,» Beverley said after scoring 6 points in 12 minutes in his Bucks debut Friday. «I'm going to upset some people.
I hold myself to a high standard and I expect everyone else to do the same. »My approach is very strong until you get to know me.
