He will get the max even if the Wizards don't give it to him. He's got his flaws but a lot of these young cats do and some are lesser players then him. He is still young and can shoot the ball at an elite level. For that he will get the max contract next year.
Him being an elite shooter is a misconception most casual NBA fans have. He is an average shooter at best.

He can't really dribble either. Him and Wall seem to suffer from the same thing. Both have the talent and a little of what it takes but don't put in the extra work in to really be next level.

Exactly!

Beal is the exact same player he was when he came in as a freshman for the Gators.

nikka still can't handle the ball or get to the basket, shyt is frustrating to watch

He's young, playing for a shytty coach in a shytty system and coming off injuries.

I hoped he'd have made the leap by now... but I don't know anybody that I respect who called him a max player.

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.

It was all good until that concussion happened:mjcry:

Facts. He's like Eric Gordon
Nah, a healthy Eric Gordon was way better than Beal. He actually wanted the ball.



And if Kris Middleton can get 70 mil, you best believe Beal is gonna get more than that. And The Wizards could of had Harden for Beal straight up, but there's a reason why The Wizards have been an inept organization for years.
