Whether he will or not, I don't think it'll be enough where he's anything other than a footnote amongst the other stars.

Missing the whole season? :russ:

No wonder the NBA REFUSED to give a Disabled Player's Exception. He looks like he can play in 2-3 weeks @Black @mastermind :dead:

Needless to say, unless he's developed a consistent jumpshot during his time off, he's not going to exist in the outer sphere of stars; he'll just be a footnote amongst them. I mean, he won't even be the biggest star on his own team when he does come back. The guard-game has grown exponentially since he's been out.

:manny:

He looks like he's improved his shot since that's all he's been able to do until recently with dribbling and handling and sprinting since training camp.

Also, this Wizards team has probably the most shooters he's ever had so when he comes back, it'll be very interesting.

Wizards cannot collect on the insurance policy for Wall’s ‘19-20 salary unless he misses 41 or more games. So he's going to miss 30+ more so Ted Leonsis can save $20M this year.

Why? I don’t think Wall really depends on his athleticism to be a good point guard. He’s got sizes and speed already

Only thing holding him back is a reliable jumper

He’ll come back being one of the best in assists easy

Being athletic doesn’t make john wall a good playmaker/point guard (or any player). That’s where “vision” and “feel for the game” factor in which wall has naturally.

Not sure what you quoting me is insinuating. Unless you agree :manny:
