Still just 25 years old, he proceeds to lift his ceiling through growth as a scorer, distributor and shot-creator. Moved into the driver’s chair by John Wall’s season-ending accident, Beal has become one of just seven players averaging at least 25 points, five assists and five rebounds.
However, the stock of Washington begins tumbling as soon as you get past Beal.
