Good news is he's not putting any additional wear and tear on his body, and at age 29, is still young.
Do you think John Wall (when ready) will return to all-star form in the NBA?
I'm not sure he should have been an all star before.
He hasn't been an all star quality player for the past 2 seasons, hell I don't think he's been objectively good in the past 2 seasons. Albeit, a lot of that is due he's been playing on a bum achilles for the past 2 seasons.
They key moving forward is, does he play like he has the past 2 seasons once he comes back...or worse... I have a hard time believing he will have elite speed or quickness... and it isn't like he has a reliable jumper to rely on like Durant... His 40 mil a year contact is gonna have 25-28 mil a year of dead weight if he's only as good as he's been the last two seasons.
