Bradley Beal had another solid season at shooting guard for the Washington Wizards. Here’s a look at his player grades from 2017-18.

Bradley Beal and the Washington Wizards saw their 2017-18 season end a bit early with a first round playoff exit to the Toronto Raptors, but he had a productive season nonetheless. He appeared in all 82 games this season while his counterpart in the backcourt, John Wall, missed half of the year.

Beal led the team in scoring with 22.6 points per game, along with 4.5 assists and 4.4 rebounds per contest. His development as the Wizards’ second ball-handler continues to trend upwards. Their backcourt depth wasn’t solved by the acquisition of Tim Frazier, so Beal stepped up as much possible.

It was the first season Beal was selected to the All-Star Game (as a reserve). It was the first time the Beal and Wall backcourt was selected to the All-Star Game. Not since Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison (2007-08) has the Washington Wizards franchise seen two players selected to All-Star Weekend at the same time.

The 6’4″ shooting guard also participated in this year’s 3-Point Shootout. He shot 37.5 percent from 3-point range and 46 percent from the field throughout the 2017-18 season.

As he continues to build a legacy with the Wizards, Beal still has some things he can improve on. That’s not to say his 2017-18 campaign wasn’t a productive one though. Here’s a look at his player grades from his most recent season.
