Bradley Beal is a 22 PPG career scorer who had his best year in 2020 when he averaged 31.3 PPG on 49% shooting. In the past couple of years, his points per game went down to 23 but he’s still looked upon as a very good 2nd option as well as an all-world 3rd option which he will be in Phoenix.
One of Beal’s best attributes is his playmaking ability where he’s averaged over 5 assists in 4 of the last 5 seasons with the Wizards. With Beal, you’re getting similar production to what you got from Chris Paul with a 10 PPG increase.
