John Wall is an athletic freak, though. Not alot of data points for that.
He’s the fastest player in history....Ion even know what he’s gonna look like losing a step. Gonna interesting...

the spirit may be willing but the flesh is weak*
He got the look to be a star well into his 30s.
Facially, he's top 10-15 in the league.
I might be biased as I was damn near a season ticket holder with my wife for Wizards games before we moved, but John Wall is as talented as any PG I've seen play the game. It's about him putting it all together. I would love to see the Wizards add a key vet this off-season along with resigning Bertans.
In what world is 19 and 9 Career Averages “okay”Great athlete.
Okay player.
What people don't realize is John's been hurt the last few years. Like really hurt. He had bone spurs that the dude couldn't bend his knee couldn't put pressure on his heel. He was playing through pain and yet the dude was getting 20 and 10 while being very far from healthy..
He explains how the Achilles tear came about as a result of the bone spur. It wasn't even a full on tear. It was a partial and on his off leg.
Someone can say im being over optimistic but he's been ready for a while now. He's been dunking, he's still just as fast. There's no question he's back athletically to where he is once the rust goes. They've really babied his return so that no mishaps happen and so he finally becomes a 100 percent healthy..
People here talmbout his shooting but not addressing he's been elite at everything else while injured. The injury though we did see a noticeable decline in his defensive effort.
Beyond that here are other things to consider. I personally didnt like he was in the club all the time. He just got a son and has another on the way and seems to be settled down as a family man. He's now Brad Beal status. Family and his mom is important to him and once she passed shyt ws more crystal to him. He's also extra motivated to prove people wrong. There's a recency bias with the wall and Beal. The disrespect should end. They are talented. They are all Stars caught up in bad GMing
The world where it has failed to elevate the Wizards into anything other than a bottom tier eastern conference team. For those 19 points per game, he averages a True Shooting % of just .519. That's awful for a player with his natural abilities.In what world is 19 and 9 Career Averages “okay”
This is wrong. Look at the Wizards before John Wall and after. He has absolutely elevated them when he’s on the court. With awful rosters around him and Beal and mediocre coaching at best. He’s literally the most successful Wizards player of the last 40 years lolThe world where it has failed to elevate the Wizards into anything other than a bottom tier eastern conference team.

Its so easy to kick a man while hes down.
Sooo easy.
Players who operate at that high of a level physically, KNOW their bodies down to every last fiber from a performance standpoint. If he says hes back and better than ever we should believe him.
Wall was dynamite before the injury, one of the most entertaining PG to watch in the NBA... Hes not officially hot in the streets right now so its cool to shyt on him i guess. But him returning to form with something to prove is definitely something to look out for
