Beal's first full season in Phoenix yielded modest production, clouded by an all too familiar case of missed games. He simply can't stay healthy at this point, having played no more than 60 games in each of the past five seasons. As if that wasn't enough to deter managers, he is now the clear third option on offense, behind both Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. Beal closed the season averaging 18.2 points per game, the fewest he has averaged since the 2015-16 season. He added 4.4 rounds, 5.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.9 three-pointers, good enough for top-75 value in standard leagues. On a positive note, he did manage to shoot better than 50 percent from the field for the second time in his career, making him a positive contributor in that category. Coming into the 2024-25 season, Beal appears as though he will play a very similar role once again. The addition of Tyus Jones could result in a small hit to Beal's assist numbers, something to consider when drafting him. Given the recent slew of missed games and declining role, Beal does not need to be drafted before the sixth round.
