Porter vs. Beal as 2nd most valuable Wizard

Brad is putting up 21.7 ppg on 45% from the field, 2.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists
Otto is putting up 14.7 ppg, but shooting 53% from the field, 45% from 3, and plays multiple positions

Has Otto Porter surpassed Bradley Beal as the wizards 2nd most valuable player?

Porter is the better player, but I think we rely on Beal more still, since his backups are ass.

All I really know is that I am glad I got both of them on my fantasy team

Porter produces more efficiently, whether he could do it at the rate Beal could, I'm not sure but I believe if defenses honored Porter the way they gear up for Wall and Beal I think he would would be able to handle his business for the most part. I'm still amazed some defenses are leaving Porter as open as he is from the 3 pt line.

I think that Porter being the better defender of the two also has to give him the edge.

I'm just happy both of them are balling out this season. They are both only 23! Keepin hope alive...

I thought that Gortat has been our 2nd best player in recent years.
Has either BB or OP passed him? What does Kev's PPA say?

to answer my own question and to my slight surprise -

both OP and BB are well ahead of Tat in PPA at this time.

OP has a slight lead over BB, 163 to 157.
