Reasons why John Wall will have an explosive next NBA season with Washington Wizards – (Part 3)
Learning from Veterans
Wall has been a busy man this offseason and in the many games he has played so far, he has come across some of NBA’s finest. This has given Wall an opportunity to learn from his mistakes and improve upon them. His one such encounter
was with the New York Knicks veteran point guard Chauncey Billups.
Billups has helped Wall in the aspect of his game, that under normal circumstances point guard learn with time. It is known fact that Wall is extremely athletic and the speed at which he operated can befuddle some of the very best
defenders in the league. However, the point guard position is not all about speed. At times, to fend off gritty defenders, this position requires poise and faking and this was what Wall lacked throughout his first season.
If Wall does remove this kink next season, he will be a force to reckon with.
Diversification in Wall’s Game
In order to grow in any field, expansion in skills is a must and John Wall is very well aware of this fact.
The jump shot has always been a weak point in Wall’s arsenal and despite of putting in hours, this aspect of his game just didn’t improve last season.
Wall has apparently decided to cover the other areas of the game which will increase his effectiveness. He has been working on his game during this summer and the results are started to reflect in his performances in the pro-am
games.
Here are the numbers that Wall tallied during the three exhibition games. He made 34 points in one game, 40 in the second and 41 points in the third. In the third performance, Wall also managed to dish out 12 assists and clutched
10 boards too to achieve a terrific triple-double.
These performances prove that Wall’s hard work this time had worked wonders for him on the court. Moreover, this shows his tremendous behaviour of adaptability that’ll one day turn him into a complete player.
Apart from this, Wall’s play over the basket looked bloodcurdling that adds new length to his career. However, if the thrilling point guard able to fix his jump shooting, it’ll allow the rest of the squad to move in without the
ball that would not only increase his team-mates’ figures, but his numbers too.
