Sophomore Slump for Bradley Beal in 2013?

Don't count on it! Bradley Beal, the second-year guard for the Washington Wizards, looks poised to carry the team to the playoffs this year.

Don't believe me? Check out this video of Beal dropping 29 against the reigning NBA Champions Miami Heat.

In 5 preseason games, he is the NBA's third highest scorer with 21.4 points per game and shooting just above 50 percent from the field.

Although preseason statistics can't fully be trusted, with role players getting more time than usual, you can't deny Beal's offensive prowess thus far.

If Beal remains healthy, don't be surprised if he makes the jump to a top 10 SG. In fact, don't be surprised to see his name on the All-Star team.
