    This guy doesn't miss. That MIT post-grad JV dude couldn't even keep up with him. We need to start Wall!!!!!

    We need tank commander to win us a few games. Cant keep losing every game. Tank commander can disperse the ball a little better.

    It's so funny that 80% of the people here talk about Wall like he's a complete scrub and even now he's by far the closest thing we've got to an all-star caliber player.

    Didn't Barkley sign a bargain-basement contract to come here and help us get past the Sonics... I mean like 1-2 Million per year.... and here Wall makes many, many multiples of that to do nothing. Good work if you can get it! Why does the NBA even allow this?

    More to the point, how does the team or even Wall allow this? It's just bad for everybody involved except the underperforming youngsters who're getting more playing time. I firmly believe a lot of our youngsters would be doing a lot better with a legit starting PG.

    Stay ready Wall.... for that mid season trade.

    Worry about a point guard next season. KPJ has a team option we will pick up next year but then what?

    What game do you think we have won if Wall had played?

    He's not a scrub, but he was a complete black hole on offense last year. He was not facilitating like a veteran PG. Especially down the stretch he would demand the ball and chuck up contested mid ranges that bricks

    I think it’s the Silas’s offense because he looks just like everyone else.

    I'm convinced anyone who wants Wall back didn't watch any of his games last year. John Wall doesn't feed anyone but John Wall. He plays like a GLeague player trying to earn a contract.

    So one year on a terrible team after coming back from injury negates an entire career of being in the elite few assist makers in the game? Interesting. I'd rather go with the multiple years of averaging over 10 assists a game over one year of upheaval when judging a player.

    I'm convinced people who judge a player with a proven track record on half a season coming off injury where he played the exact offense our coach is making our players play this year are actually insane.

    John Wall 20-21 20.6 pts 6.9 ass on 40% shooting
    KPJ 21-22 12.3pts 5.2 ass on 36% shooting.

    Sure, KPJ's the better player/fit in Silas' garbage system (except he's not and you're all idiots.)
