Net ratings this early are trash. John Wall when healthy has always been an excellent leader and an excellent point guard. He has always been an amazing defender. Rafael Stone strikes again.
Wall's defense has seemed solid and should continue to improve. It looks very much like Stone fleeced Sheppard by getting the better player and an asset. Nowhere close to as bad as we got fleeced by Presti in trading for Russ, but it's something.
