I gotta say breh believe me or not I saw this coming from Book outta the draft. Beal is a good player but he's not as good of a shooter as alot people think he is. He's a more consistent mid range shooter than he is a 3 point shooter. He's kinda streaky from 3
But Book can shoot it from ANYWHERE and he's as close as you can get to an automatic shooter in the NBA. When I watched him at Kentucky I can honestly only remember him missing a handful of threes even in the limited time he played
But if I was the Wizards I wouldn't have traded him on draft night like buddy you quoted was talking about
Book has the game of a 30 year old vet.I can honestly say, I've never seen a more savvy 19 year old on the court
I've seen him knock down 35 footers, runners in the lane, floaters, fades, mid range pull up's, jab step/step backs, blow past defenders etc etc..
But thing that's most impressive about him is his attitude.He don't back down from nobody, talks shyt, plays smart, and gives hard fouls.Truly can't let the light skin fool ya.Dude is nasty nh.
I guess his game is so advanced because his pops played in the league.High pedigree from the start.
Breh just crafty, man.......I'm not comparing him to Steph Curry, but 3-4 years from now, I think we're going to see him approaching crazy shooting nights like Steph.
Since the All Star break, he's been the best 19 yr old I've ever seen.Fukk it---I'm just gone say it.
He's not the prospect that a young Kobe,Bron, KG, or Durant was
but in terms of game maturity, composure, and execution, he's better than them @ this age IMO
It's rare that you see a young wing player go out there and do what he's doing.His skillset & craftiness is phenomenal.He's averaging 29 points over his last 5 while shooting close to 48% from the field.
He's going to develop into one of those 50/40/90 players......watch.Breh's a blend of 80's craftiness and modern "let if fly" basketball
If TJ Warren(people forget about him, but he can put up 20 in his sleep.On crazy efficiency, to) & Alex Len continue to develop....Bledsoe comes back healthy.....Suns draft Simmons or Ingram..SHEEEEEIIIIIITTT....
..They might be quietly building a sneaky contender out there in the West
