I don't what yall see in John Wall. All I see is a dude that's real athletic, but not a BASKETBALL PLAYER. He was decent in college, didn't tear it up. Now he's in the NBA and he's basic and sometimes looks lost. If he's not a great scorer and he's not a great passer or floor general, what is he? Seems like a lot of people try to make him more than what he is. To me, he's a super athletic guard that plays in the NBA, that's it. And to say its cause he's playing in Washington is BS because if that's the case, and he's so good, he should be taking over games. Hell Kyrie is in Cleveland, and we are not very good. Rubio is in Minnesota, and the aren't very good, and those two cats are balling!!!
Maybe its because he dances, and dunks real hard in summer league games that make yall like him so much. I'm far from impressed, and haven't been since he was in college.
Wow I wouldn't go that far man....
He's just a young guy who needs to learn the game more. He needs to watch and learn from the pass first PGs of the past. Also that jumpshot needs more work. Alot more work.
I do think you guys are selling him short on his play making skills. Trust me that one thing he can do. He can create shots for guys and pass that ball. But the Wiz are terrible. I mean terrible. Their whole timing and chemistry is awful. And also they have NO shooters. Nick Young maybe but he's streaky. Look at that Rubio video. He gets alot of easy assist when he hits shooters coming off screens or curls or whatever. John Wall doesn't have that luxury.
I really hope he gets it together soon tho. Wall really needs to watch alot of film to learn the small things that make a great PG. Then he needs to continue to improve that jumper.
