nikkas just talking in here like there isn't footage of him being just as fast, strong and athletic and with a much better jumper.

Bro let them talk...when he come back and lead Washington to the ECF they gon be salty. I’m telling y’all now, Wall looks stronger and still has that gear to him. He’s going to have a comeback player of the year type of season.
He was putting up 20 PPG and 9 AST on one leg.
I have no worries about his offense and running the team. My only worry is if he can be a competent defensive player.

I think he will be because of health. You can see in the games he's playing he's intentionally taking the hard assignments like James Harden.
He's still getting to the rim going left and exploding but now he's intentionally also working on going right. He's intentionally also working on a pull up game and the three ball. And not settling for the things he gets easily just so he can have more to his game.
He's going to be ok. No set backs. Team success now is based on who we put around wall and Beal.
These young MFers gotta step up. Rui, Brown Jr, Bryant...

Rui thus far has some footage at big guard academy
Troy's been playing in cali
He apparently also was the mix when wall went down there. And if you follow gils channel apparently he and Troy talk cause Troy was the one telling him Jaden Hardy is legit. His focus has been on being a better shooter and being better laterally in order to guard point guards.
Walls focus has been shooting and going right

I understand. It's the intent. Right now he's back to where he was before where he could just do the same shyt and be okay with it. Watch his podcast with Gilbert arenas. Now he has that mentorship from a shooter telling him I know you want to do what's comfortable but this is about testing yourself. Don't go left and dunk. Go right. Don't go all the way to the rim. Pull up on the J. When they go under on the pick and roll shoot. So that by the time the season starts he has confidence in these things.
Simmons could do it but he has no confidence in the work he has done during the game.
If wall does what he's supposed to it's a part of his game now. He won't be other worldly but he'll be respectable.
