Washington Wizards have let a lot of talented shooting guards go and now they’re banking on Bradley Beal to become their next great two.

We recently ranked the top five point guards in modern Washington Wizards history, and um, there wasn’t much talent to choose from.

Instead of just regurgitating data from Basketball-Reference, we decided to rank the top players in recent Wizards history – meaning from the 90’s to now.

The shooting guard position was surprisingly difficult to rank, but we ultimately came to a consensus.

Unfortunately, Steezus – also known as Jordan Crawford – did not make the cut.
