Four years into his young career, Bradley Beal has all the talent in the world. I don’t think anyone would refute that. In fact, he probably should be a lot higher on this list. He’s definitely shown that in flashes.
However, that’s the problem though. He’s only shown it in flashes. Quite honestly, the biggest hurdle in front of Beal’s road to stardom is injury. Through his first four years, Beal has missed a combined 81 games. That’s quite insane. He’s missed an entire season worth of games because of injury.
Again, Beal has all the talent to be a top 5 shooting guard in the NBA. His body has had other ideas throughout his first few years in his career. And that’s a shame.
Next: No. 10
