Among the craziest clichés of the popular language of basketball, which we all use these days, is “he / she is a bucket.” In English, this means that this person can score at will, against any defense, anywhere on the ground.
But in the NBA, where the defense is, to put it bluntly, it’s not at the top of the list of priorities, top scorers have never been so important.
It’s a good time to be Bradley Beal.
The Guard of the Wizards is in full swing. He is, to jot down another hoarse cliché, a “three-tier” scorer, equally unrecoverable in triples, medium shots and on edge. Years of off-season work in his ball practice and in the gym have now left him able to do much more than sit for three seconds, as he did earlier in his career, playing outside of John. Wall.
He is a three-time All-Star, who will be in the starting lineup for the first time on Sunday night in Atlanta, on Team Durant.
