That's the most John Wall layup, ever.

But what doesn't make sense with this is, he usually overshoots and hits back iron because he's going too fast. On this possession, that's the slowest I've ever seen him move and he still hits the back of the rim.

:picard:
He’s clearly pacing himself. He’s still got another gear of speed. But he’s lost the insane level he had pre-2019

1. Wall should start/be the primary pg. The pressure he puts on defenses downhill and foul-drawing is major.

2. That all wing unit Lue showcased (PG/Kawhi/Batum/Morris/RoCo) may become their own “death lineup”. Those first couple minutes were ridiculous.

hell no. he has too many bad habits and is a turnover machine. he can't shoot from outside and gets tunnel vision once he starts feeling himself. reggie jackson >> wall

Yup. No longer Ja Morant fast but still quick and shifty enough to get past defenders, and strong enough to power through contact.

If he converts his layups and makes his free throws (9 for 9 this game) he’ll be a big plus for them.

I hope his jumpshot is right because him and Westbrook thrives off their athleticism…
i've never been a big john wall fan, but he's never been sabo-dumb. he's also adapted to different kinds of team compositions too

outside of the clippers being legit cursed, its hard to not like what they got going on this year

He was decent on catch and shoot 3s at one time

But yes the turnovers and shot selection are the worst part of John Wall's game.
