Bradley Beal: What Will His Role Look Like In Year 2? | Phoenix Suns Season Preview
On Day 16 of Phoenix Suns 2024-25 Season Previews, Gerald Bourguet takes a look at what Bradley Beal’s role might look like in Year 2 as the third option behind Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. Now that the Suns added a point guard in Tyus Jones, not to mention a new head coach in Mike Budenholzer, how can the Suns maximize Beal this year? Here’s a dive into his drives, off-ball cutting and screen-setting that the Suns can tap into, as well as his spot-up 3-point shooting and occasional pick-and-roll playmaking.

Hear me out. Tyus,Beal,book,kd, and nurk for starting,then move book to sg and Beal to bench and replaced with either gray, royce, or Dunn, and let Beal play bench more with morris since he has chemistry with Beal and plumlee
Bench him
Shows how stupid the no PG year truly was
Bradley Beal's role will be "odd man out." Suns Alleged Big Three are three isolation shooting guards who all need to dominate the ball dribble happy to be effective, thus they stop all over each other. Don't expect this season to be any different from last season's dysfunction.
