Agreed. "Teach Me How to be Doughy" may learn a few Andre Miller-esque tricks.

John Wall: Ready to play if pain-free

WASHINGTON -- John Wall says he's tired of wearing suits and is ready to put on a jersey -- perhaps as soon as this weekend.
The Washington Wizards guard said Wednesday he'll be ready to make his season debut Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks if he can get through the next couple of days of practice pain-free.
Wall looked in good form at Wednesday's practice. During a scrimmage, he stripped a player, raced down the right sideline and went high with his left hand for a dunk.
The former No. 1 overall draft pick out of Kentucky has been recovering from a stress injury to his left knee cap, diagnosed in September.
Coach Randy Wittman says doctors need to give the final clearance before Wall can play.

It says a lot about him, even if you want to blame the medical staff for completely shutting him down.
Remember how we ridiculed Andray Blatche for being fat? We should ridicule John Wall for the same reason.
Furthermore, I'd be more sympathetic if someone could find me some pictures of a fat out of shape Derrick Rose right now. I'm willing to bet there aren't any, because he's still in great shape (at least his upper body). And that's the difference between the two players.
This just adds another red flag to the list, IMO, and it doesn't bode well for Wall's realistic potential to be a star in this league. More and more, it seems like he just doesn't have "it"
