Bradley Beal has been a top twenty shooting guard over the past two weeks but he continues to fly under the fantasy radar.
Analysis: Bradley Beal has averaged 17.0 PPG, 1.6 3PM, 1.0 SPG and 3.6 RPG over his last five games. Beal may not have been a sexy pick for Washington at the number three spot but he is producing well at the NBA level at only nineteen years of age. He’s taken a minimum of 12 shots in each of his last five games all while averaging well over thirty minutes per game. What’s not to like? He’s contributing well in four fantasy categories(3PM, PPG, FT%, SPG) and he’s also throwing in some blocks and assists from the shooting guard position as of the last few weeks.
Beal’s field goal percentage sits at 36% for the year and at 41% over his last five games. This problem should solve itself when Mr. John Wall returns to action for the Wiz. Wall’s career 8.2 APG will most certainly help Bradley Beal out in the points and field goal percentage departments. Beal will start hitting more threes and at a higher percentage and then Beal will no longer be under the radar. At the moment Beal is available in well over seventy percent of fantasy leagues.
