Washington Wizards: Bradley Beal,10 years

The No. 3 pick in the 2012 draft, Bradley Beal has been playing ball in D.C. for a decade. Like Dame, his loyalty to “winning” has come into question by electing to stay with the Wiz, but fresh off a five-year, $251 million supermax contract extension, who can blame him?

Thomas Bryant departed to LA this summer in free agency, so Bradley Beal’s longest-running Wizards teammate is now Rui Hachimura, the No. 9 pick in the 2019 draft. And the only players remaining on the current roster who were on the Wizards playoff team in 2020-21 are Beal, Hachimura, Deni Avdija, Daniel Gafford and Anthony Gill.
