Jayson Tatum believes that Bradley Beal is the most underrated player in the NBA.

The star of the Boston Celtics said the shooting guard of the Washington Wizards deserves much more credit than he is actually getting.

“I might be biased but I think Brad Beal is the most underrated player in the league. He averaged 31 this season and he didn’t make the All-Star game. Real basketball fans, they know how good he is,” Tatum said during his appearance on the recent episode of the All The Smoke podcast with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson, via Quinton Mayo of NBC Sports Washington.

Beal is averaging a career-best 30.5 points (on 45.5 percent shooting), 4.2 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.2 steals this season.
