HARBOR CITY, Calif. – In his first season in the NBA, John Wall(notes) was just one of three players to average more than 16 points and eight assists. The other two: All-Star point guards Deron Williams(notes) andRussell Westbrook(notes).
And yet Wall knows everyone – including himself – was expecting more from the top pick in the 2010 draft.
“I don’t think anybody respected it,” Wall said of his rookie season. “I don’t want to blame my injuries – things happen in this world – but I think I would have had a better rookie season. You see how I played when I started the season healthy. When I injured myself, I lost confidence. When I injured myself, I didn’t have the energy.”
