Bradley Beal

Bradley Beal—stepped out when the other leader was down. You had a lot of highlights this season—played all 82 games and made your first (not your last) All-Star appearance.

You accomplished your personal goals.

You also gave us some laughs this season. Most recent is trying to hit the ball out of Jonas Valanciunas hand during a dead ball.

Beal, you’re not slick. What I witnessed this season is that you’re not afraid of anyone. Everyone keeps calling you a panda. I’m thinking can’t they see he’s really a Yeti?

You were aggressive on and off the ball. Your leadership skills shined through. Here’s to getting “buckets buckets” next season.
