Bradley Beal tossed around a few different theories one recent afternoon, trying to talk through the one thing that has been gnawing at him, just a little, for about a month - ever since the first round of all-star fan voting was released and he saw his name atop a list of the highest-profile guards in the NBA s Eastern Conference.
