Js, Dior, and I were the main proponents of Wall while he was being bashed by NT.

Imagine if the Wiz had selected Biyombo, Vucevic, or Faried instead of Vessely.

Wall & Faried? Yikes.

I been a fan since he was in Lexington I just need to him develop a jumper because he has all the other tools. Funny how the media always mentions Westbrook & Rose as the most athletic point guards but leave out Wall just cause his team is trash

Improved jumper and AST/TO ratio is the next step for Wall.

Wall & Beal will be a great back court in the East for years to come*

*Pending Wizards Front Office not trading Beal for Allan Houston's expiring contract or shipping Wall off to OKC for Derek Fisher.

champcruthik · Mar 4, 2013

Presti still privately wishes the Beard offer went through to secure Beal. Imagine Beal on OKC long-term instead of Kevin Martin.

I didn't see Harden & Wall working, both too ball dominant.

He was pretty successful with Russell Westbrook

kevin cleveland · Mar 4, 2013

Or Imagine Harden on the Thunder, long-term, instead of Ibaka (and whoever they would have got for trading him).

senorroboto2k5 · Mar 4, 2013

When Harden came in, Westbrook reverted more to a scorer.

If Harden was in Washington, I don't see Wall having nearly the same type of success as an off-ball scorer.

Master Zik · Mar 4, 2013

Always liked Wall. Can't wait until he's freed.

Now why would Wall be the one playing off the ball between the two of them?

Wall is a pure pass first PG, just develop your damn mid range jumper already

Btw, I've never seen a player digress as fast as Granger. He went from #1 option to All Star to certified 3pt chucker to a certified bum. He was on his way downhill even before the injury.

champcruthik · Mar 4, 2013

Granger is still a very good defender. Can easily contribute 16-18 PPG as a #2/#3 option depending on quality of the team. His shooting numbers were down last year though.

proshares · Mar 4, 2013

Hopefully they worry more about Paul George (and the rest of the team's) terrible play on the road. I can't call a team a contender that struggles that badly on the road.

Cause the guy above me drew a comparision to Westbrook & Harden...

And Westbrook & Harden worked because Harden assumed more of a ballhandling role when he shared the court with Westbrook...

well the long-term part is probably more lamb and whoever we get with the raps' pick.. i assume someone will offer martin more than we are willing to spend or have budgeted for him

i still wonder what the exact trade was between OKC and wizards
