After agreeing to a $130 million extension this past summer, Bradley Beal became the highest paid player in Washington Wizards history.
Normally, a player who gets the title of “highest paid player” has established himself as one of the league’s premier talents. Entering his fifth season, Beal has yet to make an NBA All-Star team and has suffered a stress reaction in every season since being drafted third overall.
Despite the reoccurring setbacks, the Wizards have managed to get a decent look at what type of player Beal is and can become.
Averaging over 20 points in two of the Wizards’ playoff appearances, Beal has shown that he’s capable of producing at a high level.
