Phoenix is 8-7 since he returned to the lineup. On the other hand, he’s allowed Devin Booker to transition back to the shooting guard spot and has fed Booker and Kevin Durant the ball well.
Albeit,NBATwitter is split on Beal’s ability to galvanized the offense to a Finals berth in the West.
Some fans raved aboutthe sacrifice Beal has madeoffensively. They believe it has prevented a logjam between the three dynamic scorers and will help the Suns get over the hump in a competitive Western Conference.
NBA Twitter & alot of suns fans don’t realize how much Beal is sacrificing for this team lol
Other fans view the former three-time All-Star’s 17.7 points per game and injury record as a sign that he’s washed. They don’t see Beal as being the same star he was years ago for the Washington Wizards.
Some are even lamentingthe Suns for bringing him on board this season and named other players that could be doing a better job in his role at the present.
The Suns trading for Bradley Beal was so dumb when you think about it
The truth of the matter is, the Suns are 8-20 when they get out-assisted by their opponents. Distribution has been their most glaring hole this year.
If Beal can stay on the court for the remainder of the regular season and avoid injury in the playoffs, he could be the x-factor that helps Phoenix best the strong field out West.
