3. Bradley Beal (SG) — No. 3 pick in 2012 NBA Draft

Career stats (with the Wizards):  212 GP, 15.6 PPG, 2.8 RPG, 2.4 APG, 0.7 SPG, 0.1 BPG,
43.3 FG%, 31.7 3P%, 86.2 FT%

Bradley Beal was the third overall pick by the Washington Wizards in the 2012 NBA Draft. Since selecting him, both sides have proven to be a match made in heaven.,

Beal is currently averaging 17.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.3 blocks per game while shooting 39.9 percent from three-point range in his career. He was selected to the 2012-13 All-Rookie team in his first season and continues to improve.

He is coming off his best season as a Wizard in 2016-17. The fifth-year shooting guard shot a career-high 48.2 percent from the floor and put up a career-high 23.1 points per game this past season.

Beal has reached another gear next to point guard John Wall on the court and with Scott Brooks at the helm as head coach. Beal and Wall are both looking to become a backcourt of the future in the Eastern Conference.

He is proving to be a worthy investment after signing a hefty extension through the 2020-21 season this past summer. Beal set the record for most made threes in a single season in Washington history after sinking 223 in the regular season.
