1. Earn first All-Star appearance
Should Bradley Beal execute on the four goals listed prior, he should see no resistance in making his first All-Star appearance after seemingly being snubbed last year. While there was plenty of controversy regarding Beal not being dubbed an All-Star for the first time, this season he will surely be playing with a chip on his shoulder.
Setting career high numbers for himself will not be where his ceiling ends. It must be remembered the 2016-17 season is only the second time in his five-year career he has appeared in at least 70 games. If he can remain healthy for the remainder of his fairly new contract and string together a series of complete seasons, he should find himself nearly impossible to avoid when compiling a list of the East’s best guards.
Beal set many career highs last year, but most notable were his 23.1 points per game while shooting for 48.2 percent from the field and 40.4 percent from beyond the arc.
