There’s still a 10-20% chance John Wall can be a star.

Count down to dumb and dumber gif

 

Nothing like setting the bar at 20 wins.

 

According to this advanced analytic evaluation on NBA players, his real all star potential % at this stage of his career is actually 18.257%.

Spoiler: Advanced Analytic

 

guys in the 40-60 range aren’t middling #2’s...they’re good starters at best

people throw the word star around way too loosely these days

 

Great read! Thanks!

 

"Show your work," as my 7th grade math teacher would say. Show me how you got to "10-20%"

 

Sure just on another team please

 

It isn't that he doesn't have talent. He is just a selfish asshat.

 

Props for finding such an obscure analysis.

 

You must not watch rockets games much.. he will never be an all star again.. even if he puts up 25 pts 8 ast. He’ll take 25 shots to get 25 points.. can’t win like that

 

This is a guy who averaged 10 assists a game in a season twice (now 6.3) and averages 1.5 steals a game (now .9)- depreciating value. He is not helping the team and not playing defense. Unless he find some Fountain Of Youth, I don't see Wall scaring people except with his tats.

 

Jesus Christ.

Just stop

 

I just want to know if there is at least 10-20% chance Wall will pass the ball to Wood or KPJ for once....

 

Not sure I have measured the amount of hydrogen in his body via my TV and I'd say potential for fusion is @KingCheetah unlikely

 

Wall - Wood have only played 14 games together out of the 43 games (prior to tonight's game).

Games 3-5 (3 gms)
Games 7-9 (3 gms)
Games 17-21 (4 gms during this stretch)
Games 39-43 (4 gms during this stretch)

per basketball-reference.com

Wall has averaged (w/ Wood) in those games:
Mins.....FG........FGA.......FG%......3P.........3PA........3P%.......FT.........FTA......FT%.........ast........blk.......stl.......pts
31.3.......6.4........15.9.......40.3%.....2.3.........5.7.........40.4%.....3.8...........4.5....…84.4%....…6.5.........0.8.......1.1......18.5

I was watching him closely and I don't feel he is getting much lift in his drives while being guarded. Not nearly getting that absorbing contact
and then rising as he has in the past (pre surgery). I would say he was barely getting 8 inches off the floor after contact, where before (w/Wiz)
probably could absorb contact and still have enough lift to get near 13 to 14 inches off the ground.

Note that's different from no contact and able to dunk.

This summer Wall will need to continue rehab and wear weighted vests, vs thera-bands, associates bumping him as he drives with those
strike/block pads (punch/kick pads). Lifting weights.

I had Wall getting 24 points per game on probably 43% FG% and Porter 23 points per game next season.

I'll adjust that to Wall getting about 22 points per game on 43% FG% 7 to 8 ast and Porter getting 25 points per game next season.

Not exactly "Star Player" level but better than this season for Wall

 

I've said all along, a 18/6 Wall would be a great third option.

 

The problem is he thinks he’s the first option and a franchise player.
