Born to Patrick Bracy and Lisa Beverley on the 12th of July and in the year 1988, Patrick Beverley was raised by his mother Lisa and his maternal granddad, Rheese Morris. It is said that he figured out what he wanted to do with his life when he was 12 and started working towards it. His goal was a precise one – to become a professional B-baller and play in the NBA.

Patrick was a student of John Marshall Metropolitan High School at East Garfield Park, Chicago. It was at the public school that he started nurturing his abilities in the game. His efforts were made manifest in his senior year when he led the state with 37.3 points per game. This brought him several honors as he was named Player of the Year and picked to take part in the national high school All-Star game (Roundball Classic) of 2006.

To further his education and take his pursuit of a career in basketball to the next level, Patrick Beverley became a student of the University of Arkansas where he joined the Razorbacks basketball team. Patrick wasted no time in proving his worth with the team. He finished his freshman season on a fantastic note, making the All-SEC second team and the SEC All-Freshman Team. Additionally, he was honored by a handful of associations as the Freshman of the Year.

Beverley kept up with his performance the next season and was nominated for prestigious accolades like the Naismith Trophy and the Wooden Award. Sadly, his time with the Razorbacks came to an abrupt end owing to his inability to thrive academically. It was a nightmare for Patrick when he was roped for malpractice. Granted that it was as though his goal of playing basketball professionally was not going to be realized, the chap had two options – stay out his one-year suspension and then return to Arkansas as a junior or play elsewhere and earn money from it.

He kissed the Arkansas Razorbacks goodbye, embraced the BC Dnipro of the Ukrainian Basketball League (UBL) and inked a one-year deal with the side. As the contract came with a clause that stipulated he could leave after the season, Patrick decided to take advantage of the 2009 NBA Draft. Meanwhile, his time with Dnipro saw him become a UBL Slam Dunk Contest champion, this was in 2009.
