The one dunk he had was a rim grazer where he fell awkwardly due to contact and he sat on the floor petulantly gathering himself after it. Point Guards don’t really need to jump over people, they just need to finish creatively. Dinwiddie has excellent footwork and can still get to the rim, but he’s clearly not confident right now. He doesn’t want to be there among the trees. He doesn’t want the contact, I think his issues are much more mental than physical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it's possible Spencer can still do and is just super tentative...but to me he doesn't look the same (physically). He still has excellent footwork but what he seems to lack (at least for now) is the quickness to go along with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also spent the early part of this season turning it on late in games with success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonhommelemec Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Intersting article suggesting trading with Philadelphia. As much as I like Besl, he ts a turnover machine and does not have the size. I think Ben Simmons can improve Ho's shooting. I say pull the trigger bit get plenty in return. https://www.google.com/amp/s/sports.yahoo.com/amphtml/nba-trade-rumors-bradley-beals-203409622.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's posted up some smaller guards at times but he still hasn't shown the ability to consistently beat anyone off the dribble. And that's why his average shot attempt is 16 feet from the basket. 😟 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ball Security Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 That’s the best half I’ve seen them play since early in the season. Gafford is really battling Gobert. The bench is knocking down shots. Harrell is playing with energy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 We got killed in the 3rd. Harrell can’t do anything against Utahs size. Games like tonight would really benefit from having Kuzma and Rui as the forwards, and Thomas Bryant inside. Some real size. wouldn’t hurt for our back court to stop playing like garbage either. Beal and Dinwiddie combined are being outscored by DMitch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Solid facts. Which a team like the Jazz will always expose. Your max SG is not a consistent threat at all from three. Your best paint player is undersized and useless against any real size/talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CobraCommander Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Watching Brad in person is not very impressive. He dribbles too much in traffic and takes bad shots that are nowhere close to falling. The whole team was outmatched last night. I haven’t been to a wizards game in a while. Not all that entertaining to be honest. I don’t think I’d go back. The last basketball ball game I went to before last night was a Bulls game in Chicago and it was a far more entertaining experience overall.

Destino Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Beal this season hasn’t even been a max player, forget super max. He keeps playing like this and even a trade wouldn’t bring what you’d want. He isn’t the same guy that came up a few points short of winning a scoring title last season. If we had that Brad we’d be cruising right now. We don’t. so our best player fell off a cliff and our prize offseason acquisition is scared to drive. Not good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Beal is fortunate he plays in a market that's relatively soft on its basketball team. Imagine him in New York or Philly or Boston, he'd be getting crucified. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeTheBeal! Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Beal posting a stout -20 at halftime. Trez right behind him at -17. Fire up the trade machine! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
