This is for all the Coli J Wall doubters....and I know there are a lot of you.

For the first time since a stress injury was diagnosed in his left patella in late September, Wall participated in limited-contact drills, sped up and down the court, and traded trash talk with his teammates after making baskets. [...]
“This is Christmas all over for him, I'm sure, to finally reach this point,” Coach Randy Wittman said of Wall. “You could see the spark in his eyes — finally. So we just got to be patient. He’s got to be itching to push this as fast as he can. We got to be careful with that.”


Possibly because the team has waited more than five months to see Wall in action, or because he won’t be available when the Wizards host the Brooklyn Nets on Friday, Wittman spoke with cautious tones when talking about the third-year point guard. Wittman mentioned the need for Wall to regain his conditioning and strength, but Wall’s teammates were much more encouraged by what they saw from the former No. 1 overall pick. [...]
“He’s still the same player. Fast. Aggressive. He looked good. Looked like his old self,” said Price, who has been out since Dec. 8 with a broken hand but participated in five-on-none, non-contact drills on Thursday. “He was extremely active. Just talking. You could see that he really wanted it. He wanted it. And that’s always good to see, especially from your franchise player, coming back off injury, to show how enthused he was to be back out there and how aggressive he approached the situation.” [...]
“It was good. That’s a positive, trust me,” Wittman said of having Wall back on the floor. “He’s moving good. He looked fine. A little rusty, breathing hard, but good. We’ve got to get him in shape. That’s the main thing now.”
