When the Wizards took John Wall with the first overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, Washington was hoping to land a true franchise player.
Seven years later, Wall has four All-Star game selections under his belt, has received a Third Team All-NBA nod and became the franchise leader in assists and steals, among other accolades. He's led the Wizards to the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs three of the last four seasons. Wall has been the face of the franchise and has made a commitment to Washington D.C. and its community.
This week, Wall signed a multi-year contract extension, solidifying his role as the team's leader for years to come.
