NBA: Way-too-early Eastern Conference All-Star predictions

8. Bradley Beal – Washington Wizards

Although they’ve fallen off a bit of late, the Washington Wizards have seen a decent improvement in their performance since last season. Currently 15-12 (55.6%), this is a step up from the 34-38 (47.2%) they managed last year and Beal once again has been the star in the capital.

So far he’s averaging 22.5 PPG, 4.8 RPG and 5.7 APG whilst shooting 44.2% from the floor. He does need to up his 3-point shooting (currently only hit 26.3%), but I have no doubt that he will progress to his career average of 37.3%.

Beal is simply too good of a scorer to be this inefficient for an extended period. He averaged over 30 PPG over the previous two seasons for a reason.
