10) Bradley Beal, Washington Wizards

This young and talented shooting guard can score with the best of them, the only problem is he cannot stay on the court.

Bradley Beal was the third overall pick in the 2012 NBA draft, and since then he has not played in more than 73 games in a season. He played in his fewest games last season, 55, while only starting in 35 of them because of injuries.

Beal has averaged at least 14 points per game every season. In his limited playing time last season he averaged a career-high 17.4 points per game. Beal would be higher on this list if he could stay healthy and play better defensively. He still has time to play up to his potential.

The Washington Wizards think very highly of Beal and have committed to him long term by giving him the largest deal in franchise history at five years, $128 million. Beal and point guard John Wall form an athletic scoring tandem in the Wizards backcourt.
