5. John Wall

One of the most exciting players to watch in all of the NBA is John Wall.

Wall has been an All-Star for the past three seasons and is about to begin his prime. If Wall plays like he has for the past couple of years, a healthy Wizards team could return to the playoffs.

Wall is one of the best passers in the league. Wall has averaged more than eight assists per game in five of six seasons. Wall’s offensive game does not end there. Wall entered the NBA without a jump shot.

Now he has developed one that is not great, but teams have begun to respect it.

Another part of Wall’s game that makes him so special is his speed. When Wall is running the fast break or driving to the basket, it is almost impossible to slow him down. Wall is only 25, and he looks primed to continued his phenomenal play through the next few of seasons.
