They only rival the nets as far as most random collection of players ...I keep saying "damn he on there too?"

His shooting has improved over the years, but I do agree that he needs to cut down on the TOs.
That being said, I need a happy medium between advanced stats/eyeball...because though Wall isn't on the level of Steph, CP3, or Westbrook, he's not out of the top-5 discussion at all.

I think I'm with the grizzly fan. Wall is too flaw. He'll never lead a team to the promise land, he needs a strong supporting cast. Think about it, is he really better than prime rondo who was a 2nd/3rd option at best?

Considering prime Rondo had 3 hall of famers he was playing with, I don't even know what you're getting at...

Exactly, I'm not sure he's better than rondo and rondo is next to nothing without the big 3. I don't think wall will never be the hands down best player on a deep playoff team

Rondo was the best player on those Celtics teams?

John Wall hasn't led a league average offense yet and while his team and coaching certainly matters here, he plays a part in that. Simply put, it's some serious limitations for a high usage PG in today's game who can't shoot.
What's worse with Wall, is that he's starting to take more and more midrange jumpers even though he's really bad in that area. He shot over 100 (way over) more midrange jumpers than 3's last season, but only made like 35% of them.
Last year was the first year of his career that he shot a league average percentage from 3, on good volume. This is encouraging but if you're taking 8, 9 midrange jumpers a game and are really bad at them, you're almost negating all of this progress.
How good John Wall becomes from this point will largely depend on how he balances this midrange infatuation with 3's.

Funny how things work
hes dumb because he got honey **** by pop and timmy d whispering sweet nothings in his ear when the spurs are all about team ball and he was clearly looking to be the man on a contending team.
you cant have your cake and eat it too.
he probably had it after they signed pau
the guy hates playing center and pau coming over assures that he will be playing center.
no doubt the spurs probably told him he woukdnt be playing center if he signed
funny how the spurs sign two guys in back to back seasons who hate playing center and are horrible on defense and the one guy who was willing to play center when hes a true power forward and a great defender end up retiring

Both situations could've been easily avoided and everyone knew a trainwreck was imminent as soon as the questionable acquisitions were madeThey only rival the nets as far as most random collection of players ...I keep saying "damn he on there too?"

I'm extremely disappointed at the rosters of both teams.

If it leads to the Spurs having dysfunction and finally going the **** away,
