What do you think Bradley Beal's potential is?

dkossin · 09-08-2014, 08:12 PM

wanted to hear what people think

the27guy · 09-08-2014, 08:21 PM

He can definitely be a top 3 SG in the league. The SG position is as weak as it's been since before MJ.

khouzza · 09-08-2014, 08:26 PM

I have lots of time for Beal, he has a sweet shot and great timing. I just think he's playing within himself at the moment and I don't know why. Hopefully he breaks the "shackles" soon and just explodes because I think he can do it. Def future top 3 SG imo

k13 · 09-08-2014, 08:40 PM

Another chucker that will be a loser forever unless a roll player on a winning team.

tristan20 · 09-08-2014, 08:50 PM

Beal is young, he is mature and can shoot as well as well as long arms for defense

This is the most correctest. I'm also buying all Beal autos for $1 dlvd

He has the potential to be a top tier SG with a sweet jumper. He's played decently in his first two seasons and he'll only be 21 when this upcoming season ends.

thecomebacker · 09-08-2014, 10:28 PM

Beal has a bright future with Wall. Their games compliment each other's. Definitely top 3 SG potential.

gonygo · 09-08-2014, 10:49 PM

Beal can develop into a Ray Allen type with better moves and ability to take the ball to the rim…I love his game…He showed some real flashes of guts and greatness in this past years playoffs. He can be a top tier sg guard in this league.

fullmetal · 09-09-2014, 12:39 AM

He is the best player in Washington. They should release Wall.

davechappelle · 03-11-2020, 10:44 AM

For some reason, Beal gets no hobby love. I know Wizards stink but he is averaging 30ppg. Highest average by a non-allstar in history.

ThoseBackPages · 03-11-2020, 10:45 AM

he is basketball good indeed

asujbl · 03-11-2020, 10:47 AM

What a random bump

brothertona · 03-11-2020, 10:48 AM

Hopefully a trade to the Hawks this offseason, that's been my big thought all year is Hawks trade their 1st to get Trae a co-star.

Would not be a good fit. They'd just lose games 130-120 instead of 120-110.

Stackfan · 03-11-2020, 10:54 AM

I like Beal a lot from a player standpoint.

As a Hobby fan, I'm not buying Beal now.

- The Wizards are currently out of the playoffs.
- He's 26, turning 27 in the off season.
- It's going to take years for the wizards to rebuild.
- Kind of like your typical good player/bad team scenario.

If they get some talent around him I'd be a bit more intrigued. As a fantasy fan, I like him though.

I actually don't hate the fact that his cards get slept on and remain relatively cheap. He's not a PC guy for me but I've randomly bought 4-5 really nice cards of his over the past few years and I dont think I spent much more than $50 total. On card RC auto, gold optic, Prizm RC, a few serial #'d rookies. Ill hold on to them and if they jump, great. If they don't, they're basically as cheap as they're gonna be. I'm not an "investor" anyways. I just like nice cards of nice players

dasiegel · 03-11-2020, 11:05 AM

Beal has maxed out. He is an all star level player though and could still have a great career. elsewhere.

brothertona · 03-11-2020, 11:19 AM

Bradley Beal is an above-average defender, and he'd thrive in Atlanta's offense. An offense of Collins, Capela, Reddish, Beal, and Young would be pretty strong - and Collins, Reddish, and Beal would be a decent defensive triumvirate.

The Hawks need another offensive force, Beal would be that.

As much as I'd like to see beal on ATL, I think calling him above average as a defender is a stretch, to be polite.

Based on what? It's been a long time since Beal played any defense.

They don't need more offense. They can already score. They just can't stop anybody.

brothertona · 03-11-2020, 01:44 PM

Based on his steal rate and his movement. Collins is playing much improved defense, and with Capela he shouldn't have to play center - then with Reddish Beal at average D next to Trae should be a improvement. I think the Hawks need another star, someone that can take over a game other than Trae.

Movement? And there's a lot more that goes into defense than steals. Overall effort is probably the most important thing, really. Beal is lacking, and he has been for a while. Adding him won't help. They simply cannot stop anybody.

Trae's D is as bad as anyone's. I remember what Philly did with Iverson. They surrounded him with role players and defenders, and they were able to hide Iverson's defensive flaws because of his sleight frame. This was after trying to find a #2 guard like Stackhouse or Hughes.

Correct. I believe the Wizzards are neck and neck with ATL in terms of defense.

Beal is CJ McCollum on 95 sliders. That boy can cook, but he also lets everyone he guards cook.

Potentially could get coronaV but unlikely
