Utah Jazz head coach Quin Snyder says Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal is playing like an All-NBA player this season.
Wizards All-Star point guard John Wall only played in 32 games this season. After Wall was lost for the season, Beal took his game to another level and showed everyone in the league he's more than capable of being the No. 1 option on a team.
Entering Monday, Bradley Beal is averaging 26.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game for the Wizards. The two-time All-Star is shooting 47.8 percent from the field, 35.9 percent from beyond the arc and 82.2 percent from the free-throw line.
Beal has recorded 11 double-doubles and two triple-doubles this season. The sharpshooter has scored at least 40 points five times and is well on his way to making his first All-NBA team.
Washington is only 30-40 on the season. If the playoffs started Monday, the Wizards wouldn't be in it. Beal has been playing like a superstar all year, but the players around him haven't been as consistent.
If the Wizards miss the postseason, it will mark the first time since 2013 they won't be playing in the playoffs. Beal is doing everything in his power to will the club, but their time is running out as they have only 11 games left after Monday's game against Quin Snyder and his Jazz.
