Same argument could be made for every other star:russell:

A similar argument maybe, but I believe the Clippers' starting five has had both success and failure because of their rigid roles. Had Blake kept improving then they would've been okay with their setup, but Pierce is past it, Mbah a Moute has minimal impact, Reddikk is catch and shoot, and Jordan is catch and dunk. None of that efficiency translates to impact. So Paul is their only guy. Though I'd hardly say he gets a pass tbh.

been saying yall underrated him for years...

dude was 22 and was already considered a bust...

all he needed was a squad that plays well around him
His biggest problem was that his knees were fukked up from 2013-2015. He had a bad bone spur in one and needed a scope on the other.

He said he's finally back to normal this season. Blessing in disguise though as it probably helped him slow down.

I get John wall is super quick but I don't get why teams don't just go under the screen on him and just let him shoot. He's improved his jumper but I'd rather him shoot jumpers than driving to the lane.

because he can shoot jumpers. Teams used that strategy before, but they can't now.


And yes, he better than CP3.

I'm not saying he can't hit a jumper, but it's not like he's deadly out there. He does most his damage penetrating.

No he can't and no he is not.Walls jumper still suspect he shoots 38% 10-16 feet,37% 16-22 feet and 33% from 3's his jumper is still below average no matter how much it's improved.

Cp3 shoots 50% 10-16 feet,50% 16-22 feet and 41% from 3's.Runs better rated offenses and turns the ball over less.Wall turns it over damn near twice as many times.Cp3 currently averaging 27 ppg 10 apg 53% fg, 44% 3's in the playoffs vs a defense that's 3rd in the nba behind the warriors and spurs without bg.

In January 2016, Wall left agent Dan Fegan for Rich Paul of Klutch Sports Group, who had been following him for years. “I think you have another level,” said Paul, who is based in Cleveland. “I don’t think you’re right.”

Paul took Wall to see Dr. Richard Parker, who removed a five-millimeter bone spur from Wall's left knee. Wall keeps a photo of the prehistoric saber tooth looking spur on his phone.

“Nobody saw the real John Wall,” said Wall

The NBA is finally seeing the real John Wall

you can do that all game long but he's still going to get to the basket. and if he's getting to the basket and the jumper is falling especially now that you done let him get some open free shots he becomes unguardable
