Bradley Beal

It feels like the Washington Wizards have gone as far as they’ll be able to go with Beal as the leading man. He’s a dynamic offensive presence. In 2020-21, he led the NBA in scoring with 31.1 points per game. With that in mind, how is it possible that Beal feels like a second option on a contending team?

Well, we’ve seen the results when he’s the first option. In today’s remarkably talented league, being an alpha scorer isn’t enough to lead a team to contention. The best players in today’s league are generally more versatile playmakers than Beal.

Players like, for example, Giannis Antetokounmpo.

On the other hand, with all due respect to Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday, Giannis has never had a second option like Beal at his side. Together, we can assume they’d form one of the most potent offenses in the NBA. With Giannis drawing defenses into the paint, they’d have no choice but to sometimes lessen the pressure they were applying to Beal.
