John Wall hasn’t really blossomed as we expected him to. His numbers this year haven’t improved at all from those of his rookie year. Call it a sophomore slump if you want, but let’s face it: The team he plays on is lousy (yet still a bit better than the team that even NBA.com says stinks). That’s certainly no excuse, but Deron Williams gets it and feels bad for the struggling, young Wizards point guard:
“I don’t want to put anybody down but he’s not playing with the smartest guys in the world.”
Jeez, imagine what Williams would have said if JaVale McGee was still on the Wizards.

Outside of not letting yourself get as fat as Shawn Kemp did back in the day, nobody really knew how to approach the lockout this past off-season. John Wall did so, not unlike too many other guys, by playing in just about every street ball-style charity event there was. Not to say there were any other styles of charity events of course.
In doing so, however, Wall may have stunted...

When discussing the difficult situation John Wall has had to deal with in Washington, Deron Williams said Wall's Wizards teammates are not "the smartest guys."

Let's face it, the Washington Wizards have been the laughing stock in the NBA.
Former Wizard JaVale McGee had a big hand in lending to that reputation, Andray Blatche was benched for being fat, Flip Saunders was fired, and to top it all off, their current interim coach Randy Whittman doesn't even know if he will be around next season. About the only bright spot is point...

Davis replaced All-Star center Dwight Howard, who is suffering from back spasms. Seraphin’s play was the story of the first half for the Wizards. Midway through the fourth quarter...
