From Zach Lowe's Tuesday 10 Things...More Love For John Wall



1. John Wall’s Passing Acrobatics

"Wall is an otherworldly athlete, and his height helps him make cross-court passes that smaller point guards can’t manage. But his overwhelming athleticism shouldn’t outshine what a genius passer Wall has become.

Wall is throwing the kind of next-level passes that mark a truly great distributor. He isn’t reacting to a defense’s rotation and then hitting the open man. He’s anticipating the next rotation, and even coaxing it with a smart dribble or fake designed to get the defense leaning one way — only for Wall to fire the ball someplace else.

He knows where every teammate is, and he can hit everyone — even guys who think they are out of his passing window. Paul Pierce has looked surprised to be standing at the top of the key when Wall, under the rim, fires some crazy straight-line pass out to him for a triple.

Washington’s offense is heavy on midrange jumpers and running low on 3s and free throws. It should be better. But Wall is improving every day, and he’s dynamite to watch".
