I watched Wall in person and I watched a lot of Gil. Gil was a much better scorer and always will be but Wall is a much better PG and his ceiling is much higher as well.
How is Wall a better point guard
All he does is drive to the basket JUST LIKE GILBERT DID but Gilbert finished.
Wall consistently drives and turns the ball over
His assist count is inflated because HE CANT SHOOT.
Put ME in an NBA game. I'd have to play PG because of my size.
I can bring the ball up court, and I'm actually a really good passer.
All my stats would be is assist.. turnovers.. a few points here n there cuz they'd leave me open... not many rebounds.
Walls speed is what gives him assist. You put him in a half court offense and its an isolation that works out 2 out of every 10x he's in that position.
Same shyt.. cross over.. fake drive, fade away bricker near the foul line
or the drive and block leading to a fastbreak the other way...
@ JaVale "I'm here, I'm here!". This is an interesting theory and has alot of evidence to back it. I naturally thought JW coming in as a rookie would automatically get resentment from the vets especially if they were the stars of the franchise, never dawned on me it could just as easily be younger teammates seems like they would bond more since they are likely to only get support from each other as opposed to a vet.
McGee and especially Blatche were the Vets at this time. They just got rid of Jamison and Haywood. So they were the vet's now. And they was ready to prove themselves as such. Wall comes, we lay down the Red carpet, declare that day "John Wall day" in DC and basically hand him the keys as our savior!!!
They bought into it at first, but after Wall's game regressed. Andray really tried to lead by example last offseason. But he wasn't getting the type of support from his teammates that he hoped for.
I made threads on Wall's immaturity out there during games, I felt he felt he was running shyt instead of "team"
The Wizards hoped it would all settle itself out, but Blatche got hurt. The city turned on him, the rest is history.
I was ready to give Wall credit if he proved himself this year. All he's proven is he hasn't come around and is actually playing WORSE now than he was when he first came back.
Wall sucks
No one is gonna follow a player that they are better then
Wall isn't even in McGee or dray days ball park
Thats the thing. He's really not. He has potential, but thats the problem
Sorry players have potential. Great players, you not talking about there potential because you see them doing it out there.
His boy Cousins.. you don't hear ppl saying his potential even tho we know what it is
With cousins you see results. When John gonna have results? Long term results. Not "he had a good 2 week run" but actual consistency?
Its liteally never happened. Andray Blatche improved in scoring/rebounds/assist each year for his first 5yrs in the league. We cant say that for John tho
I did give prince Ariza some dap tho
