It was no secret during last season's playoffs that Paul Pierce was going to take the final shot at the end of a game for the Washington Wizards. Now that “The Truth” left for the Los Angeles Clippers, one of the questions entering the 2015-16 campaign is, “Who's the new end game go-to guy?”

The obvious choice would be either John Wall or Bradley Beal, the team's two best young players.

However, Wall and Beal will have to step up into that role, Ben Standig and J. Michael from CSNWashington.com discuss. Standig offers his critique on why the two weren't late-game threats last season:

"Washington repeatedly put Wall in isolation sets and the All-Star point guard frequently struggled in such spots. The primary issue is his lack of a consistent perimeter shot. Defenders will always guard the blinding quick Wall for the drive, but especially if he continues shooting 30 percent from beyond the 3-point arc. As for Beal, his outside shot is textbook quality. However, the rising fourth-year guard's ball-handling needs work. Putting Beal in the iso situation essentially provides Washington the opposite problem of when Wall is in that decision-maker role. Adding to the dilemma, Beal, Washington's top shooter, can't drive-and-dish with passes to himself, and Wall certainly isn't a catch-and-shoot option."
