    This guy has been a monster in March.

    Just led the Wizards past the Lakers: 24 points, 6 rebounds, 16 ASSISTS!

    He is on his way to superstardom if he can stay healthy and there is no doubt he is ready to show the world that he is on Paul's level in terms of impacting the game with his great combination of passing, scoring, and defense.

    J-Wall's March Averages:
    20 PPG, 51.5% shooting, 4.5 REB, 8.5 AST, 2.0 STL

    Move over CP3, J-Wall is about to take over the face of the PG position!

    I looked at the boxscore and the Wizards were down, I had a feeling they would win the game.

    The Wizards are the trap team of all trap teams.

    There was pretty much no defense.

    They're 20-15 since John Wall came back. They arent THAT bad.

    I watched the second half of this game and the Lakers couldnt do anything w john wall. He did a good job of scoring off of screens or just taking Nash off of the dribble forcing the Lakers to over-help. This led to repeated open three's for Ariza who went 7-12 from deep. Ariza is a classic role player. Great when he doesnt have to set himself up. Nene is pretty good too. Overpaid, but good.

    Pretty much. They would probably be the 8th seed if they were just healthy though which would have been huge for that young team.

    I saw the box score when it was 47-31 and thought the Lakers had an easy blowout. Wished I had watched the 4th quarter.

    Same here. I enjoy watching the Lakers lose almost as much as I enjoy watching the Rockets win.

    Obviously not nearly that good, but I say he makes the jump next year.

    Him and Bradley Beal together could be scary in the future.

    If Wall had been healthy all season the Wizards would probably be better than 8th seed.

    Wizards look promising moving forward. John Wall and Bradley Beal could be the best backcourt in the NBA in a couple/few years. Ariza and Webster are young, talented, and versatile. Booker and Seraphin show promise, Vesley is.... well he's young. If they can draft/trade well, this team could be on the right track to success in the East.

    Coming out of college, I thought he was every bit of an athletic freak as Derrick Rose, but not quite as strong. He's still actually 2 years younger than Rose.

    He's been turnover prone and has shot a bad percentage historically. I think part of that stems from joining a team where he got to "learn" from Javale McGee and Andray Blatche.

    As confusing as the Wizards acquiring Nene, Emeka Okafor, and Trevor Ariza was, I think establishing a veteran presence on that team will ultimately do Wall a lot of good. I think he breaks out next year.

    He's playing out of his mind to get $80 million. He's talented for sure, but he'll come back to earth after signing the contract.

    John Wall at 22. PER: 19 Winshares/48 .109.
    CP3 at 22. PER: 28.3 Ws/48 .284

    Almost there Wall.
    Lol not even as good as a rookie CP3. :eek:
