Wall has certainly helped his team this season. The Wizards are above .500 with him in the lineup and the numbers show just how valuable he has been since returning, as Van Gundy recently pointed out when he “reevaluated” Wall and admitted he was wrong about the up-and-coming point guard.
“I don’t think anybody has done more for a team this year than John Wall has,” Van Gundy told ESPN 980. “Look, they were 5-28 when he came back. Five and 28. The worst team in the league. And they’re 21-16 since then. And if you look at the numbers, they’re the ninth-best team in the league if you compare defensive numbers and offensive numbers — the ninth-best team in the league, fourth-best team in the East since he’s come back. So this is a team that you could project, with John Wall, could be not only a playoff team but be sitting with home-court in the playoffs. And they were the worst team in the league before he came back. Nobody else has done that for a team. … His presence has been huge for that team, and they went from being a good defensive team, to a great defensive team when he came back. They’re second in the league defensively since he came back. … I think that he has proven me wrong in terms of his value to a team.”
