Last weekend I was ready to write about how a loss in a nationally televised game to the NBA Champion Golden State Warriors last Wednesday night might end up being a defining moment in John Wall’s career. A moment where Wall turned good into great, where being an All-star turned into being an All-NBA performer.
That feeling quickly faded with the loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday night and I was once again reminded of why John Wall, while an All-star, is a maddening player.
Let’s start with Wednesday’s performance: 41 points and 10 assists on 68 percent shooting from the field and a perfect three for three from beyond the arc.
