Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: January 6 at Washington Wizards
By Adam McGee
Wizard to watch – John Wall
Bradley Beal is just as deserving of being highlighted in this spot, and is arguably even having a better season than his teammate, but Wall’s matchup on Saturday night ensures he’s the player who Bucks fans should pay closest attention.
Matching up against his good friend and former Kentucky Wildcat teammate Eric Bledsoe, Wall will have to deal with one of the few players in the NBA who can come close to matching his incredible speed.
Much like Bledsoe, Wall can often bring a tenacious energy to the game on the defensive end, while posing a whole host of problems going the other way, particularly in transition.
While Beal and Porter and Giannis and Middleton mean this is far from a two man contest, the battle at point guard will likely prove vital in deciding the overall winner of Saturday’s game.
