[tyevvyotcu]

You don't remember the all those Boston and Orlando series?

he averaged like 38-7-9 vs orlando how is that shrinking?

Wall is better then IT in every category except scoring. Rebounds, assist, steals, blocks and universally recognized as being a better defender.

People really need to stop this one player scores more so that makes them better narrative. There's more to being a professional basketball player then simply scoring. The people who rate John Wall highly understand this.

The 4 more assist per game (Wall 10, IT 6) can be anything from 8 to 12 points. Those 4 assists make up for the 5 more points IT scores per game over Wall.

The math is simple. 4 assist per game > 5 points.

I agree man. So many people underrate Wall. Lots of dudes I argue with and tell me Wall is wack. I'm like [emoji]128552[/emoji]. Lots of people only look at buckets. I don't even like wall much but dude is a beast and best pg in the east IMO.

Wall is nice but I just think IT is nicer. I know i said Lil Zeke is the best PG in the east hella times in here but TBH it's a toss up. you can make a solid claim for Kyrie, Wall, Lowry, or Lil Zeke.

I mess with lil zeke hard because dude is a straight up warrior on the court and plays with a straight up chip on his shoulders.

reasons why I think he's better than wall?
even though wall averages 4 more assists than Zeke, Zeke can play on and off the ball at 5'9, making him more versatile on the offensive end. his system + him being basically the only ball handler, he should be racking up as many assists as he does.
the amount of attention zeke gets opens up his teammates, which, at times, can't be measured in assists or in a metric in the box score next to his name. just him being on the court makes the game easier for his teammates.

All depends on preference from what you want from your PG. If you put IT on the wizards or Wall on the celtics how much better are they?

 

[tyevvyotcu]

Wall is the only ball handler on his team too
Zeke literally can only score and when the playoffs come around he's trash at that. there's no argument for him being better than Wall.

 

[awwsome]

Wiz would be the perfect landing spot for Nerlens.

Don't think they have the cap to resign him though.

 

[tyevvyotcu]

I had no clue they gave mahinimi 15Ms smh
plus giving bread to Nicholson

I forget he even plays for Washington until before every game they show who's out do to injury and it reads...

Ian Mahinmi Sore Knees

 

[antidope]

Klye Lowry

 

[abematic]

Wall still ain't prove nothing in the playoffs. 1st round exits only.

what are you talking about? lol
I actually don't think he's ever been eliminated in the first round

Mahinmi was coming off a career year and showing flashes of growth.

I actually like the signing until I realized he pulled a Ezeli.

 

[the collector]

Wall still ain't prove nothing in the playoffs. 1st round exits only.

but he went to the second round in back to back seasons

Do I have to post the Nene/Jimmy picture to refresh your memory? You forgot he beat the Bulls and the following season swept the Raptors in the 1st round?

never forget...

2015: the celtics were supposed tank but the lil zeke trade got them to the playoff where they faced the cavs.

 

[abematic]

You're right. He did go to the 2nd round.
My fault.

 

[tyevvyotcu]

zeke has won 2 playoff games ever lmao

Noel, Covington and Stauskas for Beal

Nah. We'll give you Marcus Thornton and Danuel House for Okafor.

The only thing IT does better then wall is score.

NTers love him cause they remind him of Iverson.

Living their 5'9 dreams thru a 5'9 scorer.

Right. Anyone that knows Basketball knows Wall is better.

Wall is a above average scorer, elite passer, above average defender. Once Wall adds that post game, its gonna be great

 

[addict4sneakers]

zeke has won 2 playoff games ever lmao

Who is the 2nd best player Zeke has played with?

LOL The best player he ever played with is better than him

This analysis is based off his one and only playoff appearance in his career against the one team the C's absolutely did not matchup well against?

Bravo to you sir [emoji]128079[/emoji][emoji]127996[/emoji]

True but Boogie is better than almost every other player in the league
