If I say Washington Wizards, who is the first person that comes to mind?
The answer would overwhelmingly be John Wall… Wall is the face of the franchise, the head honcho, the engine, the best player – of course, you think of John Wall. But if we learned anything this season, he can’t take the Wizards to the Promised Land alone. He needs help.
That’s where Bradley Beal – the sidekick – comes in.
Sidekicks are players, generally under-appreciated, who are second options on a particular team. Though Beal carries the team when Wall struggles, like in Game 7 against Boston, Beal receives no love.
