re: Shams: Pels one of teams interested in Beal

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.
