Why The Washington Wizards Do The Deal
We touched on the potential symmetry between Ball and Beal. Let’s elaborate on it.
Beal is one of the best scorers in the NBA. In fact, he’s got a scoring title under his belt. As the Wizards’ best player, he’ll be getting plenty of usage in 2022-23.
With that in mind, the Wizards could use a point guard who doesn’t need the ball to be impactful. That’s Ball. He’s one of the best floor-spacing point guards in the entire league.
Moreover, they could use a willing passer at the position. That’s also Ball. In fact, his floor vision is elite. When Beal gets to his preferred spots, Ball will find him every time.
