Last night I went to the Wizards home opener against the Sixers. Some quick thoughts. The Wizards can't play defense. They have talent but are extremely young. They have their franchise PG. I got the chance to watch John Wall live and he provided a glimpse of the future. Final line, 29 points, 13 assists, 9 steals, 8 turnovers. He has the ability to have that extra gear to blow by people and can finish at the rim. Once he develops that jump shot a little more, he might be un-guardable. He also knows when to make the fundamental play and kick it out to a right teammate. A team can be built around him and he has the talent to make players better. Best part, he's only 19. I'm also realistic and can see this team win 35 games. That would be an improvement. And with every game he plays, he'll get better and hopefully cut down on turnovers, which is tough because he always has the ball. At least the Wizards are somewhat watchable again.
Here he is from the starting lineup intros from last night.
