Bradley Beal is NOT a max player

[FAH1223]

He started the year off well. Both his playoff runs have been impressive.

But the kid's consistency is driving Wiz fans insane.

His flaws remain. He can't draw fouls, he's only a mediocre defender, and he's really not even that great of a shooter. He hasn't even cracked 80% from the FT line.

His ORtg is 99! I think people need to really consider how easily replaceable this guy is. He is, at best, an average SG, and that's only if you give him the benefit of the doubt due to injuries suppressing his performance. The following SG's are unquestionably better than Beal so far this season:

Harden
Butler
DeRozan
Barton
Fournier
Thompson
Miles
Lamb
Oladipo
McCollum
Wade
Ginobili
Burks
Ellis
Korver
Redikk
Matthews
Harris
Knight
Bradley

If he doesn't improve... dramatically... there there is no way he should get the max. It's hard to justify paying him more than $8M or so.

Coaching is also a big issue. And that's a wild card. But this regime of Ted Leonsis never makes changes unless it all collapses.

Me too. I was thinking he would settle into a 20-23 PPG but far too often does homie fall in love with his shot.

Will Barton & Gary Harris have been 'unquestionably' better than Beal this season?

 

[NV-ME]

yeah, we know

 

[mastermind]

the Wizards dont have a max player.

He is 22 tho, and his coach is inept.

[AlbertPullhoez]

Beal been my man since Florida, but the truth is the truth

He is still the exact same player as he was in Florida

Lackadaisical on the court, hasn't worked on his ball handling, and still doesn't attack the basket

And he's a Good shooter, not great.

Hate to say this, but it just doesn't seem like he has the heart or desire to be much better than what he is now

 

[Captain Crunch]

He will get the max because he's young and teams have money.
