Beal should sit, just like Bertans. The Wizards currently have the 9th worst record in the NBA and would have a chance to enter the lottery if they fail to make the playoffs. Let the young guys like Rui, Troy Brown, Thomas Bryant, Admiral Schofield, Mo Wagner, Isaac Bonga, etc get eight more live games of experience and then call it a season, get Wall back, sign Bertans, get Mahinmi off the books, and hope the ping pong balls bounce their way. Absolutely no reason for Beal to risk hurting himself because if he does they are super f***ed next year.
Here are their lottery chances if they miss the playoffs:
- No. 1: 4.5%
- Top three: 14.5%
- Top five: 20.2%
- Top 10: 96.8%
