If Rondo can learn to hit the outside shot, then you have to believe Wall can get there also.

yeah I was thinking that last night. Rondo has gone from not being able to shoot to being really streaky. He has confidence issues still with regards to pulling up on the break vs. waiting for teammates for the assist but he has improved.

Hopefully Wall can go from being horrid to atleast being streaky

We’ve laid out with John Wall’s people, every single day. Nutrition. Strength and conditioning. Shooting. Who he is going to be playing with. What he is doing on the business side. It just feels good that you can be in control of the outcome and these young kids are really to work. “Every single day” of John Wall’s offseason is laid out.

Also...

More on Wittman: Randy is under contract. The entire staff is under contract. The most important signals to me, was in all the exit interviews, to a man, everyone thought that Randy did a fantastic job. So that gave me confidence that I should interview and I had a quality day with Randy. And we still talking through some things and I feel very, very comfortable that when Nene has been around and a John Wall, both say thiswas a coach that treated us the right way, respected the game and we listened to him...Ernie’s got some decisions to make. But I was very, very comfortable with the exit interviews and the input on the coach.

On why this decision has taken so long: We said we needed to be thoughtful. We needed to do a lot of work. There are a lot of analytics. I wanted to some time with him. We wanted to do the exit interviews, so there is no rush. As I said, he’s under contract.

I thought he said he was done playing in these games.

One thing is for sure, I'm not going to get hyped about Wall as i did last off season.

Im not worried about a couple summer league games as long as they're limited and the bulk of his time is spent on basketball workouts. I'm still excited though. He's working with a shooting coach and he'll be working ot v. the olympic team. It will be an eyeopener for him and hopefully he'll bring back some of what he learns & instills it on this team.

Not really worried about John playing in these pickup leagues, unless he continues for the entire summer. The summer has just begun.

DCZards · Post #1273 » by **DCZards** » Thu Jun 7, 2012 9:00 pm

I wouldn't expect (or want) Wall to totally stop playing in summer league games. It's something that he enjoys doing so I say let the kid have some fun. But I also want to see him working extra hard on his shot (with a shooting coach), conditioning, ballhandling, etc.

Nivek · Post #1274 » by **Nivek** » Thu Jun 7, 2012 9:03 pm

Wall is in the midst of a pretty regimented off-season workout plan. He's apparently planning to showcase his new-and-improved jump shot in the Vegas summer league.

is it confirmed he's playing in the summer league?

dangermouse · Post #1276 » by **dangermouse** » Fri Jun 8, 2012 3:07 am

Yeah i have no problem with Wall playing pick up games.

At least this year that won't be all he's got.

this guy @poormanscommish has tweeted it several times.

apparently he works for golden state in some way or form and he's been at the team usa practices. but i'm trying to find more sources to confirm.

these are the tweets

Yes. RT @JPitt0: Wall still relies on his athleticism to beat players like its HS or College, He needs to find the stroke to be dominate.

now Poor Man's Commish Poor Man's Commish ‏@poormanscommish

@Pelllz_F I haven't seen CP3 play yet. Westbrook has had his moments but at same time Kyrie held his own, gave us a peek at what could be.

After 2 days, I now drink Kyrie kool-aid. Kyrie >> Wall. RT @Pelllz_F: based on day one how good was kyrie irving compared to john wall

now Poor Man's Commish Poor Man's Commish ‏@poormanscommish

@BenAgent0 Point being Wall has opportunity to reconstruct his stroke. Isn't going to be a crapshoot like Rondo for the rest of his career?

now Poor Man's Commish Poor Man's Commish ‏@poormanscommish

I feel like John Wall is ultimately winning the matchup vs Jrue Holliday, but shouldn't he be dominating? That's the issue I have. @JPitt0

now Poor Man's Commish Poor Man's Commish ‏@poormanscommish

@TheDCDime @William_Stokes @BenAgent0 John Wall made some shots and missed some. When they go in, it's not pretty.

now Poor Man's Commish Poor Man's Commish ‏@poormanscommish

@BenAgent0 Yes and no. There's something awry. Even when ball goes in, it's never a swish with pretty rotation.

now Poor Man's Commish Poor Man's Commish ‏@poormanscommish

Byron Scott says Kyrie's always had all those moves. I asked if there was anybody else he's seen, suggested Isiah Thomas. He agreed.
