4. John Wall, Bradley Beal – Washington Wizards

Individually, there might not be two better talents at their respective positions than John Wall and Bradley Beal. Although, for one reason or another, they have failed – time and time again – to make it all work on the basketball court when it matters most.

Two years ago, the team almost broke through in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. However, this past season, they took another step back, finishing as the 8th seed in the conference only to lose to the Toronto Raptors in seven games.

But time is running out for John Wall and Bradley Beal. Soon enough, they’re going to be viewed as two players with extreme talent that simply never were able to put it all together on the court. It’s sad.
