John Wall should learn from Andre Miller while he still can
The old-school vet can still teach the young stud a few new tricks that will benefit both Wall and the Wizards. Just so we are all on the same page, I want to make sure we agree that when John Wall takes a seat on the bench, he much prefers seeing this… ...than this. Agreed? Good. Unless they have LeBron James and Kevin Durant, great teams are build around point guards today. Chris Paul. Tony Parker. Derrick Rose. The list could go on and on. These point guards have put their respective franchises on the path of consistent success. The Wizards need John Wall to be included with...

Wiz Insider: Wizards’ John Wall excited about chance to compete for Team USA
LAS VEGAS — John Wall finally got the phone call he wanted but the timing nearly put him in a difficult position. When Jerry Colangelo, managing director of the U.S. national team, extended the Wizards point guard a late invitation to Team USA training camp after Oklahoma City all-star Russell Westbrook withdrew from participation this summer, Wall was only a few weeks removed from having shockwave treatment to relax tendinitis in his knee.

Wiz Insider: Wizards’ John Wall on goal for next season: ‘The Finals’

Can John Wall and Bradley Beal make Team USA's roster
The two are among 19 players competing for 12 spots. Can either do enough to make the final cut? Team USA's minicamp begins this week, and it features two Wizards: Bradley Beal and (after a last-minute decision) John Wall. Nineteen players will begin training with Team USA in Las Vegas, and coach Mike Krzyzewski must decide on 12 before the team goes to Spain at the end of August. Those are pretty good odds for both Wall and Beal, especially since several players have dropped out since this process started and several others may do so sometime down the line. Derrick Rose, for example, is...

One piece argues that John Wall needs to shoot less for the Wizards to be better. Here's why that's not true. Neil Greenberg at the Washington Post's newish statistics blog has an entry with the following headline: "Here's why Wizards would be better off if John Wall would stop shooting." On the surface, that's absurd. Wall led the league in assists (fourth in assists per game) last year and was third in the NBA in total passes per game, so it's silly to say, as Greenberg concludes, that Wall "has to think more about passing the ball than shooting it." To be fair, the actual argument in...

There is no denying the Wizards’ offense runs through point guard John Wall. According to SportsVu, no NBA player suiting up for at least half their team’s games had more touches on the ball (7,696) or held it longer (7.8 minutes per game) during the regular season than Wall. However, he only averaged 0.20 points per touch. The reason: he is not a good shooter. Read full article >>
