With the Wizards’ season concluded, we’re reviewing the Wizards, position-by-position. First up, the shooting guards with Bradley Beal backed up by Jodie Meeks. When Bradley Beal grows frustrated — and he often did during the Washington Wizards’ tumultuous season — he smolders with a controlled rage. Rarely does his voice register over a low-tenor mumble. His facial expression remains […]
