When asked about the Wizards' options with the No. 3 draft pick this summer, John Wall said the Wizards "need a [power forward] that can pick and pop."
He didn't name specific players or offer more details, but it wouldn't be surprising if the Wizards use their pick to upgrade at PF, especially with 2011 lottery pick Jan Vesely showing minimal signs of improvement. Jun 2 - 1:38 PM

John Wall - G - Wizards

John Wall is expected to be invited to Team USA's mini-camp alongside teammate Bradley Beal.

The pool of young players includes Wall, Beal, Anthony Davis, Harrison Barnes, Klay Thompson and Kawhi Leonard among others, so if nothing else it will be a good opportunity for the young players in today's game to hone their skills against one another.

John Wall - G - Wizards

Over the final 49 games of last season, The Wizards outscored their opponents 95.6 to 94.5.

Over the first 33 games, the Wiz got outscored 97.2 to 89.2. It's not a coincidence that John Wall was on the court for those final 49 games and inactive for the first 33. It's perhaps the biggest piece of evidence his agent can bring to the table when the two sides open negotiations on a new contract July 1. Wall is going to be asking for a maximum five-year, $79 million extension.

John Wall - G - Wizards

The Wizards plan to begin contract extension discussions with John Wall on July 1, the first day the team is eligible to do so.

All signs continue to point to Washington maxing out Wall. "Obviously, we’ve said all along that we’re building this team around John and with John. We want to have him here long term," said GM Ernie Grunfeld. We don't anticipate it taking much time to get something done if the Wizards come to the table offering max money.

John Wall - G - Wizards

John Wall sounds willing to accept less than a maximum salary contract extension depending on what happens with the Wizards in the offseason.

We don't really believe Wall will take less than the max. "You never know how it goes," he said. "The main thing with me is it's not all about me. I'm not a selfish type of person, type of player. All I want to do is win. If we're winning, I'm cool with anything." All signs point to the Wizards giving him a max extension in the offseason and building around their franchise player.

John Wall - G - Wizards

Wizards owner Ted Leonsis said the team plans to keep John Wall for a "long, long time."

All signs point to Washington making Wall a max player and extending him long-term in the offseason, and frankly the Wizards really have no choice. Wall displayed improvement when he got on the floor this season, and the team has to be hopeful he'll continue to evolve his game and his chemistry with Bradley Beal will continue to grow. Don't expect Wall to be wearing a different uniform any time soon.

John Wall - G - Wizards

John Wall shot 8-of-21 from the field for 23 points with three boards, four assists and one 3-pointer in 38 minutes against the Bulls on Friday.

Once Wall made his season debut on January 12, he didn't miss a single game and averaged 32.6 minutes per game. Wall has to work on his jumper a bit, but he looks ripe for the picking in the second round next year.
Apr 17 - 11:08 PM
John Wall - G - Wizards

John Wall scored 24 points vs. the Sixers in a 97-86 loss on Friday, adding two boards, seven assists, one steal and one block in 35 minutes.

He shot 9-of-21 from the field, but he's been solid shooting the ball lately. He's shooting 46 percent since the All-Star break and when taking into account that he's averaged 20.6 points, 4.6 boards, 7.8 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.9 blocks and 0.4 triples in that span, he'll be someone to consider in the early part of the second round in standard leagues next year.

John Wall - G - Wizards

John Wall just missed a triple-double in Wednesday's loss with 17 points, nine rebounds, 11 assists, two steals and two blocks on 7-of-18 shooting.

He didn't hit a 3-pointer and his lack of them is the only thing keeping him from being a first-round pick next season. And even without them, he still might be worth a late first-round pick anyway.
Apr 10 - 10:52 PM
John Wall - G - Wizards

John Wall shot 11-of-19 from the field for 33 points to go with three boards, three assists and one steal in 33 minutes.

He didn't take any threes and it was his fifth game in a row without a make. Even without the 3-point production, Wall is on fire offensively and over his previous 10, he averaged 25.6 points. He's looking like a guy that could be flirting with a first-round value in drafts next year.
Apr 9 - 11:22 PM
John Wall - G - Wizards

John Wall abused George Hill throughout Saturday's game, finishing with 37 points on 16-of-25 shooting, four rebounds, five assists, two steals, two blocks and only two turnovers.

Wall scored 26 points in the first half alone, tying a career-high. At this point in the season many players are slowing down or being rested as a precaution, but Wall is playing on fresh legs and dominating the competition nightly. It's a sweet outcome for any owners who held onto him during his prolonged 33-game absence to start the season, and the only blemish in his play tonight was a 5-of-10 mark from the FT line.
Apr 6 - 9:49 PM
John Wall - G - Wizards

John Wall kept up his red-hot scoring streak on Tuesday with 27 points to go with eight boards, nine assists and three blocks in 37 minutes.

He's one of the hottest players in the league and is the main reason why the Wizards have an eight-game home winning streak. In his previous 10 games, Wall averaged 24.6 points, 8.4 assists and 1.6 steals on 49.1 percent from the field. He's been a top-five player in eight-cat leagues over the past month and is on cruise control right now.
Apr 2 - 10:16 PM
John Wall - G - Wizards

John Wall finished the month of March with averages of 22.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 8.0 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.6 blocks on 48.4 percent shooting.

Normally we wouldn't blurb something of this nature but it's definitely notable considering how Wall looked prior this year. Not only did he shoot 48.4 percent from the floor, but he connected on 45.5 percent of his shots from distance, and that's pretty impressive for a guy who is a career 25 percent shooter from distance. Wall has shown no signs of slowing down since declaring himself a max contract player.

John Wall - G - Wizards

John Wall scored 35 points on 11-of-28 shooting to go with nine boards, two assists, two steals, one 3-pointer and four turnovers in 38 minutes against the Magic on Friday.

His offensive game has taken flight lately and in his previous five, Wall averaged 24.4 points and 9.4 assists. His approach to scoring has changed a bit and he has relied more on his jumpshot during this scoring outburst. Wall is turning some heads and he's rising up draft boards for next season.
Mar 29 - 10:01 PM
John Wall - G - Wizards

John Wall hit just 3-of-18 shots for 18 points and 12 assists in Wednesday's ugly loss to the Thunder.

Much has been made about Wall's reconstructed jumper after he 13-of-22 for a career-high 47 points on Monday, but it just wasn't there for him tonight. However, the fact that he still had a double-double (and hit 12-of-15 free throws) is likely a sign that he's maturing. Look for his shot to return in the next one.
