Bradley Beal
Of all the young players out there, I feel the most confident Beal will be a regular All-Star and the best shooting guard in the Eastern Conference for many years to come.
Alongside Wall, Beal has to share the ball in the backcourt with the Wizards’ other star guard. While it might impact Beal’s stats and a bit, together, Beal and Wall form the best young backcourt in the league, if not already the best backcourt in the league.

In his first two seasons, Beal has battled some injury issues, missing nine games last season and 26 games in his rookie season. There is some cause for concern, but his 2013-14 stat line of 17.9 PPG on 40 percent shooting from three-point range, and 3.3 assists per game is proof Beal is going to be a bona fide star in the NBA.
