Bradley Beal, quick learner

Bradley Beal is 19 years old. He's also on the Washington Wizards. And since he's both young and on the Wizards, it's surprising that he's actually getting better -- and fast. Check out his numbers by month:

Month	Pts	FG%	3pt%	Reb	Ast
November	11.2	34.1	32.7	3.3	1.6
December	13.4	36.8	18.4	3.9	3.4
January	15.1	44.7	50.8	2.8	2.5
February	17.7	47.8	50.0	5.0	2.4

That's more points per month on better overall shooting. Those five rebounds per game in February are looking pretty good. The dip in assists from December to January/February also coincides with John Wall's return from injury.

Beal is playing well and shooting the ball with confidence. He's not only one of the main reasons why the Wizards are winning, but also why they're so fun to watch right now. And hopefully he stays hungry (not an Andray Blatche kind of hungry).

Latest Camden Depot links

When I write Orioles-related articles from now on (for the most part), they'll be posted at Camden Depot. Here are a couple of posts I wrote earlier this week:

• Where Markakis Bats, examining Nick Markakis's spot in the batting order and looking at his brief time as the team's leadoff hitter last season; and
• Adam Jones's Extension and Saving Some Money, looking back at the extension Jones signed last season and comparing it to B.J. Upton's free agent deal with Atlanta.

As always, thanks for reading.
