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.

the problem is beal is only that type of player when his teams suck. look at his stats every year until last year (he ain't THAT good)

also, without looking, how may 40% 3 seasons do you think he's had?

He’s 26, not 30.

A player’s peak is typically Between 26-29, so Beal is just entering his.

It seems to me you are just looking for angles to hit him with, even if it means ignoring certain contexts.

That argument is the equivalent of claiming James Harden ain’t shite because at 22 and 23 he was the third best player on his team and only averaging 25ppg(still hasn’t had a single 40% three point shooting season). Dismissing his season at age 26 as a fluke, even though any reasonable person recognizes he was entering his prime. And that Harden at 26 had Pat Beverly, prime Ariza, and Capella only getting him to .500 basketball and getting nearly swept in the first round. I am not calling Beal Harden, but simply illustrating the absurdity of this line of reasoning.

His age 27 season Harden got D’Antoni and took off.

Might be that Griffin sees some untapped potential of a budding superstar as well.
