08:51 AM ET 07.19 | John Wall canned a Globetrotters shot in street clothes, but Washington's coach believes he was the best guard in uniform, too. Wall wound up averaging 23.5 points [in Las Vegas] -- second-best in the 22-team circuit through Friday's games -- and a league-high 7.8 assists, against 5.3 turnovers. McGee, meantime, averaged 19.5 points and 9.3 rebounds while shooting 69 percent from the field. ... "We had a great week," Coach Flip Saunders said. "John was probably the best guard here, maybe the best player here. JaVale [McGee] was the best big man here. We want guys we have here to come in and dominate, and they did that."

I saw some videos on YouTube where the rookie for Harvard Jeremy Lin scorched Wall left and right. Must watch!!! I'm unable to find a link right now, but just search for "jeremy Lin John Wall" on YouTube.

Who cares about Vegas. Nate dominated Vegas too but he's still a scrub.

He is quick, I saw him play in the summer league.. He can't shoot worth ****, has poor passing and can't finish on the break. I must say his defense wasn't bad but again its summer league player he is up against.

It's tough for anyone to live up to the hype that accompanies being a #1 pick. Wall still has a lot to learn and being on the Wizards will not win ROY.

not surprisingly, no mention that he's averaging 6 for 17 from the field in those games...

Wall needs to work on his shot and his decision-making -- what rookie doesn't? -- but anyone who came away unimpressed by his game either wasn't paying attention or doesn't know anything about basketball. (As for his supposed inability to finish on the break, well that's flat-out false.) To compare him to Sebastian Telfair is idiotic. He's got more in common with guys like Rondo and Wade than Telfair. (For one thing, he's much bigger and faster than Telfair, and his hands are enormous; for another, he went to college and has been a winner at every level.)
As for Wall's shot, he's got great form and is a great free throw shooter (by the way, he gets to the line almost as much as Wade or Durant), so it will probably start falling consistently at some point.
Quit hating, HATERS.

Oh, and his defense is awesome because his arms are so long and he's ridiculously quick. He'll average 2 steals a game by his second year.
