NBA Team of the Week (Oct. 17- 22)

#2 Shooting Guard: Bradley Beal

Bradley Beal

Team record: 2-0

Week averages: 25.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 42.9% shooting

Through two games, despite playing against weaker opponents, the Washington Wizards have just about snatched out wins and that is in part because of All-Star caliber backcourt. Bradley Beal, the team's starting shooting guard, is scoring and ensuring he does his job while John Wall runs and orchestrates the offense

Through two games, he's averaged 25 points in 35 minutes while doing enough secondary playmaking to not put too much pressure on Wall. Another factor why Beal with these relatively subpar numbers makes the cut for this list is because of this competition at this position.

With James Harden now playing point guard, the SG slot is wide open. And while Klay Thompson is the next best guy at this position, he's had one bad game and his team, the Golden State Warriors have had two losses in three games.
