Bradley Beal Shares His Goals For The 2023-24 NBA Season
Bradley Beal will begin a new chapter in his career following his blockbuster trade to the Suns earlier this summer. The Suns acquired him for a package centered around Chris Paul.
Beal described getting traded to the Suns as similar to getting drafted again. But that hasn’t shifted his focus from playing at an elite level during his debut season with the Suns. Beal even outlined his goals for the upcoming season with his new team.
“I would say the biggest individual piece is getting back to being one of the best two-way players in the league,” he said. “Showing that I can really compete at a high level and play a meaningful game. You know, playing in the playoffs, winning in the playoffs, advancing past rounds.
“Granted, I wanna get back to my All-Star level of play. I really believe that that’s who I am: All-NBA guy, All-Star guy. And I have a good group that can push me to be that every single day.”
That’s a great goal for the 30-year-old. Beal has earned three NBA All-Star appearances in his career, but he has missed the honor over the last two seasons. He was also a part of the All-NBA Third Team in the 2020-21 season.
Beal hopes to reach that level in the upcoming season. But it’s easier said than done, as he’ll be sharing the court with two elite players – Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. So it won’t be a surprise if his numbers take a hit.
