He can't put the ball on the floor, and when he does he dribbles into traps and ends up turning the ball over, he can't shoot a midrange shot worth a damn or any shot inside the 3pt line with any reasonable consistency, and when his 3pt shot isn't falling he's damn near unwatchable. His good games are far too few and far too apart. I cringe now every time someone talks about backcourts of the future and bring up our guys because I know only one guy is holding up his end.
Someone talk me off the ledge on Beal...
Beal almost had a triple double last time we played OKC.
He's just slumping.
He's always slumping! Last year he had a two month "slump". At what point do we say Beal is just sucking?
Beal is a 21yo professional basketball player. Not surprising that his work performance is inconsistent.
His all-around floor game, defense, and effort have been fine. Just isn't hitting shots.
