Navigating Leadership Responsibilities: Insights from Former Wizards Player in the NBA

NBA – The former Wizards player recalls that, like the two other stars of the team, he had leadership responsibilities in the past.

Since he’s been in Phoenix, Bradley Beal has the impression of being a kid in a candy store “. Despite the stars Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and the former Wizards player himself, the “store” in question is still facing a shortage of playmakers.

While the TJ McConnell track would still be relevant, the Suns should start their new campaign without a real playmaker. I’m very comfortable with that », begins by responding from behind on the subject.

« We all, Kev, Devin and I, had responsibilities in our careers to carry the ball. I’ve probably had more responsibilities as a leader in the last year and a half. It will not be the responsibility of a single player, we will rely on the group. It doesn’t matter who takes the ball out, who is closest to the rebound, we all have the freedom to bring the ball up and initiate the attack », note le triple All-Star.

The latter, after the departure of John Wall in particular, had been mobilized at the same time by the Washington franchise. For two years, he had reduced his volume of shots and increased his level of distribution with around 6 assists on average. Similar experience, although much less frequent, for Devin Booker, nicknamed “Point Book”, in the absence of Chris Paul

.

« He is able to know how to be effective with and without the ball. With him, plus Brad, plus some of the guys we don’t really talk about – Jordan Goodwins and Eric Gordons – we have more than enough ball handlers. When you have great players, they find a way to do great things », Formulates the GM, James Jones.

And, as Bradley Beal says, being without a traditional playmaker allows you to let go of the horses without delay. “ ‘Find Kevin, find D-Book and we move forward.’ We are aware of working on the issue, that it will not be perfect. But I think we understand better what the coach expects and how we are going to release our attack », continues the rear who still finds “ unreal » to be a member of this formation, « easily the best team I’ve been a part of ».
