What is John Wall nba comparsion. How good can he be

[OnceInADECADE]

I don't like the derrick rose comparsion at all. They both play very different from one another. I heard people saying he was a taller version of Rajon Rondo which is also like Russell Westbrook. I'll even throw in Jamal Crawford because of the frame, length,height and moves he has like him.


Also how good can this kid be can he be a superstar(which i believe) or will he be a bust. I really hope he goes to New Jersey or Pacers or even The Wiz. If he ever lands in the central divsion that would be a sick crop of young points guards with Derrick Rose, Brandon Jennings, Rodney Stuckey.

John Wall, compared to Crawford? completely different players..

Yea i meant to say he has jamal crawford like style point guard style while playing. But jamal cawford has bad basketball IQ thats the reason why he stuck as combo guard of the bench not like John Wall who is going to be sick in this league

I don't think he will be a bust. But I do think it will take some time for him to really make an impact in this league. I really, really, hope the Pistons get the 1st overall pick. Rodney Stuckey could move to the two, or come off the bench as a combo-guard behind Wall and Gordon.

Also you would have the Chicago/Detroit rivalry with Rose and Wall.

Crawford likes to shot..john wall likes to drive

If he doesn't improve his jumpshot he will be a 15\8 player with a 18\10 prime. If he can get a good shot from the perimiter he will easily be a 18\11 guy with a 20\12 prime.

Dwyane Wade.

Dwyane Wade.

[Fallguy20]

In terms of impact? Im thinking Nash or better eventually. Actual player comparison? I guess its a compliment to him that I cant think of one off the top of my head...

[wang4three]

His talent level is as good as I've seen since Baron Davis.

[Batz]

Tbh, he is somewhat like him.


I say he's a very poor man's Dwayne Wade.

Dwyane Wade College stats Freshman year:

18/3/6 on 48%

John Wall College stats Freshman year:

17/4/7 on 46%

People act like Wade came into the league as a superstar, when the truth is, nobody could have predicted Wade would be this good.

Wade is a better scorer, no doubt. While Wall seems to have better court vision already. Obviously saying Wall could be on Wade's level is assuming he meets his maximum potential.. which is what the OP asked.

If we are talking about who dominated more at the sub-NBA level, the answer is John Wall. And I have no doubt if he reaches his maximum potential, he could be on Wade's level, with less scoring, and more assists.

First time I ever saw a John Wall mixtape, I thought, "this kid plays a lot like Wade".

I see the hype, hes not like Rondo or westbrook.

Hes a combo guard in the NBA. guy who can effectively play both areas. athletic but not a freak, skinny but will put sum weight on. good shot but not dead eye, great handles but not a pure passer like Rondo,Nash,Paul.

Sounds like Jamal Crawford when he came out. Crawford had a sick cross over, and drives to the basket when he first came in the league. I see John Wall like him with a slightly higher BBall IQ.

Mix of Dwayne Wade with Jamal Crawford handles...better passer/worse shooter

I don't think he will be a bust. But I do think it will take some time for him to really make an impact in this league. I really, really, hope the Pistons get the 1st overall pick. Rodney Stuckey could move to the two, or come off the bench as a combo-guard behind Wall and Gordon.

ugh detroit. what player wants to play in that shithole. Hopefully Wall doesn't land there. That team should be removed from the NBA and a team should be given to St. Louis.
