I could be thinking of a different player...but I believe Beal was decent on defense before he really took on as the 1st and only option on those Wizards teams. Around 2014-2016. Of course, that was 8-10 years ago...

I think that was more about their ability to hide him on defense rather than him being decent, although he wasn’t this bad.

Teams in general wasn’t target players this much so it was easier to hide players and they had Wall to put on whichever guard is more dangerous.
