Carlos Arroyo's arrival in Miami will finally provide the second-year point guard Mario Chalmers with some competition at the position.

Michael Beasley says that the signing of Arroyo has already motivated Chalmers.

"I think he's taking this move and really getting competitive with it," Beasley told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

"Everybody knows Carlos is a great player, a vet, a scorer with court vision. He can do it all. And 'Rio now got somebody not only to go head-to-head with, but somebody to look up to, somebody to learn off of."
