Not many players can drop 50 on a whim when he is the opposing teams entire defensive focus
He scored 40+ 10 times this year. His team was 1-9 in those games.
Lots of teams will attack a bad team with a really good player, by letting that player go off individually, while completely shutting down everyone else.

Beal arguably outplayed Dame this season
By comparison, Lillard's team is 8-6 the last two years when he scores 40+

but to speak to what Beal is capable of doing on a horrible team.
There are lots of guys that can go rack up stats on crappy teams, and that being said, i think Bradley Beal is a really good player and would love to have him.

People always say this but the list of players that actually do so in recent memory is incredibly thin. And the ones that are doing it tend to be even better when getting onto good teams and haven’t been doing it like Beal.
As to his team’s w/l percentage when he goes off.
Let’s dig into that.
Guy didnt just drop 40+ against scrubs, he dropped 42 on Utah shooting above 50% and 40% on threes. 10 Assists.
Dropped 55 and 47 against Milwaukee. On Combined 50% shooting
Against Boston and Houston, 60% and 70% shooting respectively.
42 on Orlando’s elite defense shooting 53%.
He didn’t beat up on scrubs, he had out of his mind games against some of the best competition in the league. And if you say that is a strategy, not very many other great players on bad teams could pull it off. In fact no one did last season.
The difference is, and has always been, you can be a top 10 player but if the rest of your team is bottom tier you are going to struggle. When Dame scores 40 it allows his really good supporting cast to feast, when Beal scores 50 he still needs a pitiful supporting cast to Have an incredible night to have a chance.

To be fair... The talent between Portland and Washington is massive since they blew up the team. I won’t question Beal’s ability to score regardless how good his team is. He has enough of a sample size throughout his entire career to respect his scoring ability. He’s been in winning squads as well as lottery squads. I won’t criticize Beal for the Wizard’s mismanagement. Beal is a good player that a lot of teams covet.
