At first I was really skeptical why Wizards would make such a move with Wall... If you look at the players in every team, it is true that Wall does not deserve a max contract... But if you look at Wizard's past, they also signed Gilbert to a 6 year 111 million contract, which is the dumbest move in NBA history to date...
Wall is still young, but still has some potential to be exploited...he kinda reminds me of Rose when he just entered the league... at first I felt the same with Rose when he first entered the league as well...I felt Beasley had more upside potential compared with Rose...but couple years later, it became more obvious that Rose was definitely improving at a even higher rate than Beasley, and I do admit I was wrong about Rose's potential. At least I don't think this contract is as worse as Arenas's contract... but maybe Wall can prove all of us wrong with his future.

I question your stance as a basketball fan if you think Beasley is better than Rose...

Too early to tell.
