Washington Wizards Media Day
Bradley Beal

2016/17 Averages: 23.1 Points, 3.5 Assists, 3.1 Rebounds

In his fifth season, Beal finally showed why the Wizards picked him 3rd Overall in 2012. He averaged career highs in scoring, assists, field goal %, and free throw %. Beal has struggled with injuries so far but played 77 games last season which was a personal best. He just missed out last season, but with multiple spots opening up on the East roster, Beal will likely get in this time. The Wizards should once again be a top 4 seed in the East which will further help his case.

Beal does have some ways to go in terms of being an elite SG. While he is an excellent shooter, he needs to improve as a secondary playmaker and his defense needs some work as well. If he can overcome those weaknesses, he and Wall could probably become the best backcourt in the NBA.
