Pierce makes case for Wall being NBA's best point guard
John Wall has said time and again he doesn't get the respect he deserves.
The Washington Wizards superstar's former teammate Paul Pierce may help change that.
Pierce, now a TV analyst, recently said the following on ESPN about Wall:
He's so fast and dynamic. You can't get up on him and crowd him. That's when he drives to the hole. He'll dunk on you with the left, with the right. He has the handles of a small guy even though he stands 6-foot-3. He has the speed of an NFL running back. So, you pretty much have to give him space and let him shoot the jumper. If not, he'll embarrass you all night. That's why I consider him the best point guard in the league.
John Wall's speed is equivalent to The Flash. I mean, this guy, he's a blur in the open court. This guy's probably the fastest end to end with the ball. If John Wall is running to you, and you're a defender, and he's going full speed, you're pretty much at his mercy. Expect to be on SportsCenter that night.
That's why I consider him the best point guard in the league.
The four-time All-Star's coming off a career year in which he posted 23.1 points, 10.7 assists, 4.2 rebounds, and two steals per game for the Wizards. He led Washington to the second round and earned his first All-NBA nod.
