re: Shams: Pels one of teams interested in Beal

Dude I'm not writing a thesis on why Bradley Beal isn't a top 10 player. Prove to me why he is. Also, using the same exact stats isn't fair. Lots of guys impact the game in different ways. I do have a question for you though. What do you think Jrue averages on Washingtons team if he played for them instead of Beal. Beal is a better FT shooter. The rest of the % are neck and neck.

You are the one that said there are 20-30 better players, so name them. I already went through someone’s list and said where I think he slots. Which is right around the border of top ten based on recent performances.

We already saw what Jrue would average offensively, it wouldn’t be Beal.

Remember we tried that, the whole “Jrue is a sleeper all star/superstar and this is HIS team, we will play through him,” all with a better supporting cast, and Jrue struggled until the team refocused

I like Jrue a lot for what he does, Like i said I am just as interested in a Beal/Jrue combo or a Jrue Turner/Ingram/Lonzo/Zion combo(maybe slightly more so) but if you are about to argue Jrue could drop 50 at will on a bad team and average 30ppg on that Washington team, nah. And frankly, as it would just be human nature, his defensive effort would probably drop and Certainly his numbers as his cast would suck and affect his capacity and reputation.
