John Wall Thinks He Should Have Been Picked Earlier For an Exhibition Game
“It’s a joke to me,” said Wall, who is averaging 16.9 points and 7.5 assists in his second season. “If they think there are 11 guys better than me, then that’s their decision. But I know what I think in my mind and all I can do is go out there and play basketball the way I know how to play.”
John Wall is going to dominate the heck out of this exhibition where nobody is playing defense or trying hard on non-alley-oops. Wall was the sixth guard selected, behind Kyrie Irving, Jeremy Lin, Ricky Rubio, MarShon Brooks and Kemba Walker. Should Wall have been taken after all of those guys? In a real game, probably not. In an exhibition, who cares? Complain about disrespect when your team climbs within 10 games of .500.
