Not trying to start anything here, but obviously Rell, you don't watch the wizards.
I'm a wizards fan, been since the late 80s and I watch all their games, and (after sitting through MANY losing years) feel the need to defend my boys. Capitol's point wasn't that Wall was a great shooter, it was that Wall and Beal are CONSISTENT in what they bring to the table for the wizards.
They are the leading scorers for the team, regardless of whether or not Beal has been injured. Their play is consistent.
No one is asking for the shot ratings to increase, he was asking for their consistency to be upped. I didn't realize it was that low, but I must agree that their consistency should come up. Along with Otto Porter's 3s.
I know the wizkids aren't in the national spotlight yet, and that they are being overshadowed by the Heat, Cavs and Bulls, but if you know bball and watch the team, you'll see that this is a team that can make some noise this year.
They're off to their best start in years and most of their games played have been on the road this season. Don't sleep.
And yes Wall is up there with Curry, Lilliard, Irving and Lowry. He was an all star last year. He may not be the best shooter of the group, but his defense and vision/passing are better than some of those guys. He led the league last year in total assists.

Wall is not up there with Curry. Curry's shooting and vision outclasses Wall. And Curry's starting to close the gap on D as a +defender. Wall is very good but East All Star nominations aren't really that impressive, whereas in the West it's extremely difficult given the glut of elite guards. I'm not a fan of using all-star bids to make comparisons, but if we're going down that road, Curry was a starter, the leading vote getter for guards league wide, and second in total votes. Curry is only second to CP3, and that gap is closing too, if it hasn't been already.
I have no problem with Wall on that second premier tier of Lillard/Lowry/Dragic/Irving/etc though.
