#3 John Wall (Washington Wizards)

John Wall has been named an All-Star every year since 2014.
John Wall has been named an All-Star every year since 2014.

A 5-time NBA All-star already, this is the first time in the last four seasons that he is not averaging more than 10 assists per game.

No doubt the Wizards are off to a rough start with an unimpressive .381 win percentage (8-13), the backcourt duo of Beal & Wall is hustling every night to get their side a win no matter what. Wall is averaging 22.2 points and 8.4 assists(don't forget 1.8 steals per game too) so far and surely, his best basketball is yet to come.

Amidst all the buzz, Wall has repeatedly made clear that he is in shape.

"I could play better. Making shots-wise & all that. Everybody keeps saying I’m not in shape. I’m in shape. Just, I deal with injuries. I play through them. I don’t complain about them. I go out there and give it everything I’ve got"

His lightning fastbreaks and hawkeye-like court vision are feared dearly by the opposition.

Wall is averaging 21 ppg in the last 10 games and the Wizards have won 6 of the last 10, so there is a clear correlation between Wall clicking and Washington clinching a win apparently. More than three-fourths of the season still left for things to change.
