If you ask Phoenix Suns shooting guard Bradley Beal why he's optimistic about the future of the franchise, he'd point to the team's two draft picks, Ryan Dunn and Osasere "Oso" Ighodaro.

Beal can still contribute on an NBA team, but his days of being a high-level star are over - the simple truth is that no contending teams would take on his two-year, $110.8 million salary.
