Beal was in the NBA at 19? Hadn't known that.

It's not about his age. All his age means is that he can potentially get better than what he is now, that doesn't mean much. At 20 OJ was at 19 a game and as of right now he's nothing more than your standard, above average 2 guard in the league.
He has immense potential to improve. However, his ceiling will be limited if he doesn't expand his game a bit. He's finishing a lot of plays, and if he is to achieve the promise that a lot of people and pundits see in him, he'll have to start creating plays for himself and others, instead of just relying mostly on his jumpshot.
I actually see a lot of OJ in Bradley Beal. Beal's a little more athletic and has him by a couple of inches however all of that is negated because they both have mostly the same strengths and weaknesses. Neither play in the paint and get to the line, and are more supreme shooters than scorers. OJ at 19 and 20 was probably better at creating since he played the point most of his life, but beyond that they are very similar.
Bradley Beal (Along with Waiters, Rivers, Mayo, and a few others) are favorites of mine. I root for Beal. I want him to be more than what OJ, Crawford, and the JJ reddick's of the world are. That is, 15 3 and 4 kind of guys. That isn't bad, but I want beal to be more than that and the key will be how much he expands his game beyond simply a shooter and gathering other points from loose plays, etc.

Great play by rose, but that's good D by Peyton and I may be blind, but I ain't see no one get crossed or broken

Juice was 21 for most of his rookie year.
I do agree with shoeking2101's assessment that Beal needs to get to the basket and draw more fouls though.

You are right, Juice was 21 for most of his rookie year but the point I was trying to make was that he was producing immediately out the gate as a young player (like beal), more than what Beal is doing now. However, until this point, OJ hasn't surpassed what he did individually during his rookie year.
Just because Beal is a young guy doesn't necessarily he'll add more to his game. On the contrary, most players when they hit the L are what they are, and refine what it is that they do great that got them in the league in the first place. This is especially true of 2 guards for the most part.
So Beal can become a top 2 guard in the L, but he'll never be a 20 5 & 5 guy unless he starts playing with the ball more, playing in the paint more, instead of just finishing plays and relying on his superb shooting.

I thought Juice's best season was his second season in Memphis (I guess last season was arguable until he flamed out towards the end
). He shot the ball well while balancing his all around game.

Bruh, have no idea what he was smoking on the last 2 months. He started off so well and then just gradually got worse and worse and worse. How does one put up 20 a game before asg break, then 10 PPG after
Even after that flame out, he still shot the ball at career levels last year and showed some capacity to be a playmaker. Regardless, hopefully he'll put an entire season together in Milwaukee.

Didn't realize Thompson was already 23. Still, silly to compare Beal and Thompson and these other young guys. Would take both over Waiters in a heartbeat.

Rather than playmaker, I just tab him as a SG that can pass well. At least according to last season or two anyways.I thought Juice's best season was his second season in Memphis (I guess last season was arguable until he flamed out towards the end
