No. 5 John Wall and Brad Beal – Washington Wizards

Combined averages: 37.3 points, 13.1assists, 8.3 rebounds

For the past few years, Wall and Beal have looked like the backcourt of the future. However, they have had their ups and downs. For example, this past year they failed to make the NBA playoffs.

Wall is a three-time NBA All-Star who is one of the quickest guards in the league. Beal is a young and talented shooting guard who is deadly from three-point range (39.7% career 3pt%). For these two, the biggest question mark is Beal’s health, last season Beal missed 27 games.

With that being said, Beal and Wall still have a lot of growth and potential left in them. This could potentially catapult them up the backcourt rankings, but for now they come in at No. 5.
