From Kurt Helin of NBCSports.com: “I’ll admit, I was fooled. I saw John Wall crisscrossing the country looking phenomenal in the wide-open, no-defense rec leagues and charity games last summer and thought he could translate that to the NBA. I thought he looked healthy. When left open his jumper fell, when given room to use his athletic gifts he was a force. I thought he would explode. Then it came to the NBA season, the defenses got tighter, his shots were contested and he was the same old guy. Go under the pick, take away the drive to neutralize his speed, and dare him to beat you with the jumper. Wall admitted that all the time spent playing in fun games last year should have been spent on his jumper.”
