My Top 5 Rankings: Point Guards pt. 2

* Disclaimer * My opinion, duh.

Number 4:

John Wall 

2013-14 stats: 19.3 PPG
                         4.1 RPG
                         8.8 APG

This former #1 pick back in 2010 from Kentucky is practically everything you could ever want out of #1 pick, and then some. Wall was among the best in assists, proving he's a top tier floor general, sharing the ball, and elevating his teammates play. Wall has great physical gifts that gives him an edge over most PG's. Wall utilizes his athleticism, speed, and strength to over power smaller defenders, and drive past bigger ones. Wall's achilles heel had always been perimeter shooting, but this past year he's developed a decent 3 pointer that can make a team pay for lackadaisical defense. Wall has also become one of the NBA's elite on ball defenders, using his physical tools to suffocate smaller guards, plus Wall's quick hands garnered him 1.8 steals this past season. What keeps John Wall from being higher on my list? His turnover issue with 3 plus a game, and his still lacking 3 pointer, however in a couple of years, he might take over that number one spot.
