Beal is one of the two cornerstone players for the team. However, this upcoming season is expected to be Beal’s show.

The 26-year-old St. Louis, Missouri native has spent his entire career with the Wizards. He was the team’s third overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft.
This past season, he appeared in 82 games, including 82 starts. He averaged 25.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.7 blocks in a career-high 36.9 minutes per game.
