The high praises for John Wall keep on coming.
Even before former Washington Wizards swingman Caron Butler took to his Twitter account to call the four-time All-Star point guard as the second best player in the Eastern Conference, Charles Barkley already said the same thing about him during halftime of Game 4, and even called Wall the best point guard in the East. The Inside the NBA host, only had good words to say about Wall, giving him a lot of credit for his ability to dominate games even when he's struggling to score from the field.
The 26-year-old's passing skill is his main weapon as he attracts serious attention from the defense, making himself a decoy, before dropping dimes to his teammates for open looks.
Wall has been playing at a very high level in this year's playoffs, and in their second round series against the Boston Celtics, he is averaging incredible numbers of 27.8 points, 12.3 assists, 2.8 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game. More importantly for him, the Wizards have evened the series at two games apiece and will look to steal Game 5 in Boston on Wednesday.
If Wall continues to play like how he did in the series' first four games, he would give the Wizards a huge chance of making it to the Eastern Conference Finals, which is something the franchise last reached back in the 1978-1979 season.
