John Wall definitely better than Kyrie Irving

I think Wall is, surprisingly, underrated.

With due respect to others, including Isaiah, Wall is an ELITE TWO-WAY Player.

He can do what he does (like drop 40 points w/16 assists), while playing exceptional defense.

Unfortunately, the way WAS is built, they NEED Wall AND Beal to have tremendous games to win, because honestly their bench isn't that great/deep. Celtics have been exploiting it well at times.

His defense doesn't really impress me outside of his shot blocking ability. He's done nothing to slow up IT this season, despite the fact that he's got a massive speed/quickness/size/length advantage. Saw IT blow by him on one play where he just stood there watching, gave up on the play completely.

He's a more complete player for sure. I've always felt John was underrated, I'm not really sure why but he clearly doesn't get the same love as guys like Kyrie gets. He's one of the few players I really think would benefit from playing in a "major market" like LA or NY because he's clearly not getting the coverage he deserves in Washington.

I think that John Wall is an amazing player but people keeping calling him a two way player, he's only a middle of the road defender. He's not a minus defender like Harden but he's not a Kawhi type player that is just as good going either way. He's a great offensive player no doubt, but he cruises a lot on the other end.

Does anyone else see John wall in Fultz? A 2 way player above average in all areas ?

We are in position with best chance to get the next John wall potentially

Fultz is a much better shooter than Wall was coming out, and Wall was a better passer/defender and he is faster. This isn't to say that Fultz isn't explosive, but Wall is special in terms of speed. But I have seen a lot of analysts refer to Fultz as the best pg prospect since Wall and it's easy to see why.

Not really, Fultz looks like Harden to me.

He choked in overtime but had an otherwise great game.

Maybe, but I think he was gassed.  So many of his late game shots hit the front of the rim.

My sincere question to this board is - do you think fultz will be close to wall as an NBA player?
