Bradley Beal is one of the best shooting guards in the league, and he finished second in the race for the scoring title. Beal had a stellar year this season, averaging 31.3 PPG, 4.7 RPG, and 4.4 APG. While he is already a spectacular player, it seems as though Bradley Beal has a specific area that he wants to improve in to make himself even better.

In an article by Chase Hughes of NBC Sports, it was revealed that one of Bradley Beal’s primary goals is to expand the volume of his threes and that he wants to deepen his range from beyond the arc. While he admits that he isn’t a sharpshooter from way deep like Damian Lillard, he does state that his 3PT shooting is the improvement that he needs to make. Beal also mentions that posting up more is another way that he can get even better.

But Beal has a particular focus this summer as he aims to level up once again.

“Deeper threes. I’m not trying to compete with Dame [Lillard], I’m not Logo Lillard. But I want to shoot deeper threes and shoot more threes,” Beal told NBC Sports Washington.

“You know I need to shoot more threes. You probably say it all the time. And, obviously, make them. I have to make them.”

In addition to three-point shooting, there is another area of his game Beal is honing in on this summer, which he’s been less associated with throughout his career.

“Shooting more [threes] and a little bit more post-up. I want to post up a little bit more. That’s probably why [USA Basketball coach Gregg Popovich] thinks I’m a little bit more thicker, too. I want to be able to get to the block and make something happen down there,” he said.

There’s no doubt that Bradley Beal is an amazing scorer already, adding an elite 3PT shot to his arsenal can only help him break down defenses. The Washington Wizards have put a lot of solid players around him, and he is their leader, the head of the snake. While a lot of people have suggested that the Washington Wizards won’t get very far next season, they will always be a dangerous team with Bradley Beal on the roster.
