On this day 10 years ago, the Wizards selected John Wall with the number one overall pick of the 2010 NBA Draft. Wall wasted no time carving out an identity for himself in the league: an uber-athletic, high-IQ guard that can change a game on each end of the court – one that he maintained for each of his first nine seasons in the league.
While Wall has spent the 2019-20 season on the sideline recovering from an Achilles injury, his impact has hardly waned. Throughout the season, Wall has remained active on the sidelines, serving essentially as another assistant coach and helping with the development of Washington’s bevy of young players.
