"When you think of the best players to ever suit up for the Washington Wizards, there's no doubt that John Wall comes to mind. The former No. 1 overall pick of the 2010 NBA Draft spent the majority of his NBA career in Washington; the place he built a legacy. In 9 years with the Wizards, Wall set records, gave fans hope and did everything he possibly could to put the DMV on the map."
"Ahead of his celebratory night, Wall gave his honest opinion on the Amazon Prime broadcast about the direction the Wizards are heading in and what's being built in Washington. "You gotta start by getting great pieces in the draft," Wall said. "The young core they got now, they're playing the right way. They're trying to figure out how to win. It's gonna be very exciting.""
John Wall spent nine seasons with the Washington Wizards, setting franchise records, earning five All-Star selections, and elevating the DMV's basketball profile. Washington held a John Wall Celebration night during a matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. The Wizards' young core defeated the Bucks and showcased the roster construction envisioned by general manager Will Dawkins and President of Monumental Basketball Michael Winger. Wall praised the current young players and the organization's direction, saying teams must acquire great draft pieces and that the young core is playing the right way while learning to win. Washington has struggled for years, but recent signs point toward meaningful progress and a more promising future.
