Washington Wizards: 5 goals for John Wall in 2017-18
By Randy Porga
4. Another year in the top 10 for steals
John Wall is about as well-rounded of a point guard as you could ask for. On defense, he’s an absolute menace and this past season he topped another personal best that may be overlooked.
Wall has ranked in the top 10 for steals per game three times so far in his career, and during the 2016-17 regular season he finished second with 2.0 in the league; beating his personal best of eighth place with 1.8 and 1.9 during the 2014-15 and 2015-16 regular seasons.
To add to already impressive marks in this area, he is also ranks fourth among active players in steals, averaging 1.7 per game.
Do you see the trend here? He has gotten 0.1 steals better each year, so you’d better believe his goal this year is to average 0.1 more thann last year. How about that for a Kobe Bryant challenge?
