Bradley Beal was named to the BBVA Rising Stars Challenge roster today. This is a nice honor for the young shooting guard whose season started slowly but has since picked up. Beal is nailing 50% of his threes in January while scoring 15 points a game.
Inconspicuously omitted from the Rising Stars roster are the Wizards’ very own Jan Vesely and Chris Singleton. This must have been an oversight and I expect it to be corrected in the coming hours.
