NBA 2017-18: 10 Early Regular Season MVP Candidates

#4 John Wall, Washington Wizards

Washington Wizards Media Day

John Wall leads an unpredictable team in the East, that’ll always cause heartaches with too many expectations on them. He’s shown himself to be an elite, two-way player capable of not only lifting a team with his play but also with his leadership and relentless approach. It’s time for him to walk the talk. He recently made a statement of himself as the best point guard in the East. It’s his time to take over.

Motivated by the biggest splash of signing a four-year, $170 million contract extension, Wall has made a commitment to lifting the franchise back into the thick of the race for the top spot in the Eastern Conference. With the backing of the front office, Wall should elevate his all-round game and earn his money. Being a part of arguably the best backcourt in the league with Bradley Beal results to go with the confidence they possess will help cement his case.
