Futures of Bradley Beal and Scott Brooks take center stage for Wizards

“I understand not everyone in the league has power and control or say-so in the organization, so it’s something I don’t take for granted,” Beal said. “… Going from [John Wall], transitioning to me, it’s been wild, but I embrace every single step and every single moment of it. Not everybody has that opportunity to be a franchise cornerstone or that piece that they look to build around. I don’t take it for granted. That just motivates me and pushes me to get better and be better. I still have a lot I can be better in and improve on in terms of my leadership and what I do on the floor. But for the most part, man, I was pretty satisfied.”
