Coming off a season where he averaged 23.1 points and 10.7 assists, both career-highs, John Wall has his sights set on individual awards.
He’s a fringe MVP candidate. He made the Eastern Conference All-Star team for the fourth consecutive season. He could make an All-Defensive team for the second time in his career, and he was on the All-NBA Third Team.
Still, this honor seems like another slight to Wall. He’s been wanting to make an All-NBA team for seven seasons, and when he finally does, it still feels like he’s being under appreciated.
As great as Wall’s season was, there was no way he was going to make the first team.
