Brad Beal

Scouting Reports: April 2010 - Smoother than a milkshake that stayed in the blender too long. This Florida-commit (yes, he’s good with his decision) is a big-time prospect with deep range, a middle/bounce game and athleticism that makes you do a double-take when he attacks. One play in particular that had me shaking my head was a missed shot that had two players elevating to fight for it before Beal flew in from the perimeter and caught it a good eight inches to a foot above them and crushed it home with both hands. This kid is the goods and he has a great attitude as well. Will excel in transition at the next level (Ray Mernagh at NY2LA Swish ‘n Dish).

July 2009 - Beal, one of the more highly-touted players in the class of 2011 (and probably should be playing on the U-17 Eagles, who could clearly use him), showed off his outstanding shooting ability in his game. He loves hanging out on the wing and getting kick outs or passes in transition so he can hit open shots. He also had a couple of nice baseline drives that led to points. Beal is athletic and can change his shot when in the air. His jump shot, though, is his best asset: he has nice rotation and release, and he gets very nice lift (Jeff Borzello at Peach Jam).
