Bradley Beal has been terrible this season.

Previous post was deleted due to lack of sources, so I’ll provide them.

His counting stats went from 31/5/4 last year to 22/5/6 this year. Shooting splits have gone from 49/35/89 last year to 43/26/88 [1].

Time of possession this year is up to 4.8 minutes per game compared to 3.8 minutes per game last year [2]. Also averaging a career high in turnovers [1].

As far as advanced stats go, his WS/48 are at a career low, even including his rookie season. He also has a negative net rating for the first time since his sophomore season [1].

The Wizards are 3-0 without Beal this season. Dinwiddie is averaging 28/7/8 without Beal and 11/5/5 with him [3]. Dinwiddie is also to blame as he’s been very passive, but he’s stated in interviews that he thinks his job is to defer to Beal, which of course makes sense since Beal is the team’s all star, but Dinwiddie is a totally different player without Beal.

Not to mention that Beal can also be terrible on defense but this is nothing new with him. Personally I just don’t think he elevates his teammates in a way that a super max player should, and needs the team to play in a certain way to allow him to get his buckets.

I’m also not sold on him being a super max player, and think any team that pays him $50 mil a year can kiss any championship aspirations good bye.
