Is John Wall The Savior Of Washington DC Sports?

midwestsportsfans.com — Everyone in D.C. will be doing the John Wall dance when the Wizards make the Kentucky freshman the #1 pick. If he's as good as advertised, he just might save basketball in the nation's capital. Jun 24, 2010 View in Crawl 4

No. As someone who lived through Kwame Brown and Steve Spurrier I resent this question.

Absolutely not, that will be Stephen Strasburg of Ovechkin.

Both of those guys are good options and add Wall and things are looking up for DC sports fans for the next 5-10 years.

Hard to say yes or no for sure, obviously, because we've seen #1 picks flame out before reaching their perceived potential...especially the last #1 pick in Washington. But, Wall is as exciting and talented as Derrick Rose and Tyreke Evans, though a different type of player, and both of those guys have done well. So all we can say definitively is that he COULD be the savior. It will be interesting to see how his career pans out.
