Bradley Beal-Defense

Check out Bradley Beal's complete profile on SwishScout.com: http://swishscout.com/?page_id=822 Defense: While he may not be a great athlete, he has more than adequate lateral quickness and focus to be an impact perimeter defender. He really sits deep in that defensive stance, showing the preparedness and effort to stay in front of his man. Does a nice job applying pressure, being physical when needed and doesn't take a lot of chances. Should be a solid perimeter defender in the NBA capable of checking quality guards. Excellent help defender who's aware of breakdowns and active on rotations to help. Has the physical strength and presence of mind to fight over screens, recover to his man, and pursue on and off ball. Does a good job positioning himself defensively to make plays, but tends to sag off his when they don't have the ball in favor swiping for the ball, which can burn him by leaving his man open for kick outs and a quick three. Has decent hands and reflexes to interrupt passing lanes and make plays on the ball. While few and far between, he's an instinctive defender who can make some impressive plays picking his defenders pocket or getting a chase down block.
