Statisically he ranks up there, but at the same time the wizards have been terrible.

I think he will be great……..

 Unlike the Wolves, this team has a leader that can become HUGE. I think he will become a top 5 point guard in the league in a matter of 4 years. He has to improve his jumpshot and decision making though. If he can do that, he could be more of a passing version of DRose. He needs to take a year to study CP3 and realize that although speed and athleticism is huge, slowing the game down and making accurate defensive readings is very smart and a better choice than to rush down the court, slow down, then try to sprint into the lane for a layup. That causes too many poor decisions and even though its okay because its a bad team already, once the TEAM starts to develop, he will need to mature more and slow the game down so the rest of his team can catch up and he can raise his apg even more.

We will see what happens next year. Will he do like the other guys and lead his team to more wins in year 2?

The Hornets were bad Paul’s rookie year.  Rondo shouldn’t be included on this list, he was fighting for playing time his rookie year.  John Wall has the tools to be great but he still has to put the work in to get to where Rose is and Paul was.  I think he will get their but nothing is guarenteed.

 If your talking stats john wall has had just as good as a rookie season than anyone on that list. however he needs to step it up and assert himself as the leader of the wizards more to start winning games. Also he is the wizards franchise player and no franchise player should get injured as much as he has this year.
