So let's talk about Bradley Beal

[SchoolboyC]

When the Wizards gave him $130 million in the offseason, the consensus amongst fans was that he got overpaid. He's a guy who couldn't stay healthy and even when he was on the court, his production still didn't warrant that type of payday. To open up this season he struggled out of the gate and then predictably got hurt, but since returning from injury he's looking like a brand new Beal

Since November 17th, he's averaging 26 PPG shooting 50% from the field and 45% from 3. The Wizards have gone 10-6 in that stretch and are now only 1 GB from being in playoff position, after losing 8 of their first 10 games.

So with him playing the best basketball of his career for the last month, is Beal finally starting to live up to what some thought he could be or is this just an unsustainable stretch and he'll return to being the Beal we've become accustomed to?

all I want to see from is do this in april or may without getting hurt because he's been on a roll for these last 2 weeks

You know he has one of the worst contracts in the nba

Never cared for him. Some were saying he was D-Wade 2.0 coming out of college. Completely different overall games.

I'm curious to see how good him and Wall both young entering their primes together can be, tho.

I remember Ray Allen comparisons more than Wade. But every year it seems like there's a new SG they're declaring the next Wade

He's only 23 so It could be him finally breaking out and becoming who he was supposed to be, those shin injuries are always right around the corner with him though

The "Next Wade" checklist

6'4"
6'9" or better wingspan
Good handle


That's all that you need to be to get Wade comparisons in the draft.

Randy Foye was the next Wade


Where all the people who said Buddy Hield was better than Beal

Yeah Mike Krzyzewski declared Justise Winslow the next D-Wade with his own mouth. As a Heat fan I'm still waiting to see it
