Beal is quickly becoming becoming the star of this team in only his first year and will only get better. John Wall has not played up to the hype of being the first overall pick and seems that he will never be that all star point guard who can knock down the clutch jumper and score 20ppg. Wall may try to hide it at first, but eventually he will get jealous of Beals emergence as the teams star to the point that they will not be able to coexist. This is not a Durant/Westbrook situation where Durant was already the star and even though Russ is good, he knows he isn't Durant and never was held to that regard as being the teams franchise player.
This is the exact opposite, Wall was given the keys to DC as his team and he was the face of this franchise when he was drafted as the star. Beal has quickly surpassed him offensively and is just playing "smart basketball" in his rookie year. Any highly drafted athlete unfortunately in this situation can't help but allow their competitiveness and pride get in the way of the overall goal.
Wall will end up being traded (locker room cancer) or walk without resigning here.
Thoughts???

John played with a stacked Kentucky team. He's also a team guy despite him thinking he's a good isolation player. Plus, he and Beal have chemistry and they seem to have forged a friendship off the court.

Re: I Can Already Forsee This
Aside from the fact that I think this is absurd, it needs to be in either the Wall or Beal thread.
