With his accomplishment, Bradley Beal has bested the likes of former Wizards sharpshooter Gilbert Arenas, J.R. Smith, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Durant as the youngest ever to drain 700 long bombs.
Beal, who finished the Bucks game with 23 points on 10-of-16 shooting from the field with five assists, a steal, and a block to help lift Washington to a 99-88 road win, leads his team this season with 38 3-pointers in 17 games so far. He is knocking down 2.2 threes per game on 37.3 percent shooting.
Since entering the league as a third-pick overall by the Wizards in the 2012 NBA Draft, Bradley Beal has shown terrific sniping from behind the arc. After making 91 3-pointers in his rookie season, he’s buried at least 105 treys and shot no worse than 38.7 percent from long distance in each of the succeeding four campaigns.
