Claiming that I was as unbiased as you are for a mere human like me would be impossible. But I watch enough and played enough ball to know every baller is flawed. My opinion that Wall is one of the top 5 point guards is shared by ESPN pre-season rankings as well (I think) but hey...its just an opinion. My question for you is this. Would the wiz be significantly better with lowery and the exact same roster... My opinion- No. Y'all gonna miss JW when he demands a trade and we go through another decade of lottery basketball.
It's true that for a mere human being, I'm quite extraordinary. On this board only AFM can compare with me -- and even that is only in his own eyes. I appreciate your understanding of my great qualities and your public recognition here.
The perspicuity of this action on your part makes me comprehend how deep your understanding is of human affairs, of which after all basketball is one. Hence, you must be right about John Wall. Not only is he top 5, he is top
.5 -- 1/2 of John Wall is better than any other point guard. I'm glad this is finally settled.
As you know, deneem has declared that the current Philadelphia 76ers would contend for a title if only they had John Wall at point guard. But only by reading your analysis have I penetrated to the heart of the matter: with John Wall as point guard, an average D League team would become an average NBA team. An average NCAA team would win the European championship. And an average high school roster would waltz through the NCAA tournament and emerge as national champions.
It's foolish to think that cutting down turnovers would make John Wall better. How could they? In fact, it may be that he only commits these extra turnovers in order not to appear too good -- making his friends in the league feel bad.
As to your final sentence, I feel pretty sure that if John Wall were to leave the Washington Wizards, Ted would shut the franchise down. What would be the point of continuing?
