21. Washington Wizards

Following John Wall‘s season-ending Achilles injury, the Washington Wizards have turned to Bradley Beal to carry much of the load offensively. He’s certainly stepped up to the challenge as well.

Averaging a career-high 25.1 points per game. Beal has taken his game to the next level. However, with Markieff Morris now off the team and Dwight Howard‘s addition not living up to the hype, the Wizards have been one of the few teams still not to have over 25 victories.

The Wizards should drop in the rankings as the season continues, being a good bit out of the 8th spot in the East. With the trade deadline over, expect the Wizards to potentially join the teams tanking for a top draft spot.

However, they may not lose games on Bradley Beal’s watch.
