ESPN's John Hollinger: 'There are bad jump-shooters, and then there is John Wall'

[Mr swag]

There are bad jump-shooters, and then there is John Wall. Last season he shot 3-for-42 on 3-pointers. That is not a typo. He also shot 29.7 percent on 2-pointers beyond 10 feet, which might not have been so bad if he hadn't taken THREE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY of them in an abbreviated season. Defending Wall merely required stopping his initial tornado burst upcourt after he got the ball, because once he ran a pick-and-roll, opponents just went under the screen and watched him miss ... Wall would be an All-Star if he was a remotely capable outside shooter ... he's about where Derrick Rose was after his second season ... except that Rose was a passable shooter and Wall is an awful one.

this dude is trash

spends to much time in the clubs then shooting

To be fair, he did play with trash and should have his percentages better across the board this season.

but yes, those numbers are . He needs to learn how to create space better and not force jumpers over people. He's also athletic enough to get to the rim so he should start watching some AI tapes to learn how to draw fouls and finish plays around the basket.

 

[Street Knowledge]

You know it's bad when rondo is a better shooter then you

 

[I AM WE ARE]

that is all i can say he's gone end up status soon if he don't spend some time in the gym but from what i've heard dude is just too cocky to reach out for help

nikkas told me he was gon be the best thing since sliced bread. I made a thread about Wall vs Turner on Sohh back before they was drafted and nikkas called me crazy for saying Turner would be better now im not so sure the Wiz would take Wall over Turner.

 

[ThugLife]

Wall's still the better player, but he's also the bigger disappointment among the two of them.
