Why I think John Wall is a special player
. He's a 6 foot 4 point guard who can get to the rim easily.
. He knows when he should take over a a game.
. He's already a good clutch player.
. He's an athletic freak who can dunk with both hands. he is really fast and can change directions fast also.
. Already a good passer.
. A good defender mainly beacuse his athleticism
. He can get to the free throw line
He needs to become a better shooter and better slasher in the halfcourt. Also he needs to stop turning the ball over and mabe learn how to post up smaller point guards

Was well on his way, the ability to see above defendors and to have that handle at his height was something special.
He would have been a good nba star not superstar, but we will never know. I really did see a half way new aged magic in the guy specially in that play off series versus the mavericks. That was his best time
Shaun Livingston was 6'7.5 but he was 10 pounds lighter than 6'2 Derrick Rose
added weight would have helped him post up more, absorb contact better, and have a more solid base on his jump shot
he could have been a new age Magic but Magic was 220 for the majority of his career and 200 as a rookie
all of Livingston's weaknesses stemmed from his weight
on another note, standing reach and wingspan can be tremendous if combined with quickness and speed ;)
If John Wall ever becomes "special" it'll be bcuz he has a group of good players around him
he could easily end up on a terrible team and head right back to the lottery
Assuming "special" means winning in the NBA lets wait and see if he can take over a game like Wade, Arenas, Lebron etc
I doubt it
I think Wall will be about 6'3." I don't know, but that seems to be how tall he is in shoes.
And Shaun Livingston was well on his way to taking that next step to being a solid starter. And then that following season, IF he hadn't messed up his knee, I feel he could've been a borderline All-Star. He was coming of age that season he was hurt. I am still convinced had he not messed up his knee, he would've been a top 5-7 PG in the NBA. Talk about unbelievable passing and PG skills? He had all of that, just not the best shooter and usually the weakest player on the floor (even that was kinda alleviated by his length and height).
Of course he's a 6 foot 4 athletic point guard but I can't really name anybody that can dunk with both hands like him. I have seen him dunk on people multiple times with his right and left hand.
