John Wall is known for being one of the fastest players in the league. He used his quickness to get past players and finish at the rim with ease. Meanwhile, he was also an explosive leaper, and he had many acrobatic finishes. Wall was known to be an excellent passer, and he averaged over 10 assists a game from 2014 to 2017.
He was slightly bigger than the average point guard, which helped in the defensive end. Even though his shooting numbers weren’t great, he was always a threat to score from the three-point line. Moreover, he gradually improved as his career progressed.

However, Wall is very injury-prone as he has not played more than 40 games in the last three years. In 2018, he tore his Achilles tendon after an incident at home. He was subsequently sidelined for 12 months. After returning, Wall was traded to the Rockets in 2o20 in exchange for Russell Westbrook.
The Rockets had hoped that Wall will act as a mentor to young rookies as they continue to rebuild. But he wasn’t interested to be part of the rebuilding process as he was reaching the end of his prime. He requested a trade from the Rockets and he has not played this season.
