Is it realistic to call Beal a slightly slower, better shooting version of Westbrook?

I'm just not sure about Beal. Before this season started I thought he would be an assassin. He's obviously still very young, but I've not been overwhelmed by any part of his game so far. Great rebounder, actually, but I have yet to see his shot fall. I'd call Westbrook much faster. I suspect that Beal will find his shot, but if he doesn't get his perimeter shooting to a consistent high 30's, at a minimum, then I see him as a mediocre player, at best.

EDIT: Just wanted to mention he's shooting 32.8% from 3 and 42.6% overall.

This is my concern as well.
 
Here are Westbrook's college stats:

College Year GP GS SPG BPG RPG APG PPG FG% FT% 3P%
UCLA 2006-07 36 1 0.4 0.02 0.8 0.7 3.4 .457% .548% .409%
UCLA 2007-08 39 34 1.6 0.2 3.9 4.3 12.7 .465% .713% .338%

Here are Beal's stats so far:

TEAM MIN FG% 3P% FT% REB AST BLK STL TO PTS
FLA 33.8 .426 .328 .758 6.2 2.0 0.8 1.3 2.2 14.3

I tried to connect the different stats with bold.
 
Been saying this all season, but Davis just gets better by the game ..

In his last 4 games;
71 points
30 rebounds
26 blocks
5 assists
4 steals
3 turnovers
9 fouls (pretty incredible to block 26 shots and only have 9 fouls)
69% FG
87% FT

Westbrook played at UCLA. It's generally regarded UCLA players have much lower stats than most other college players due to the style of play. Also, 4.3 APG is a lot more than 2.

I wasn't saying that Beal is better, I was posting that information for an understanding.
