John Wall will attend Team USA's minicamp after all
Last week, Washington Wizards point guard John Wall wasn't sure whether or not he'd show up at Team USA's Las Vegas minicamp.
But the superstar has since confirmed that he will in fact be in attendance, per the Washington Post's Jorge Castillo:
"Wall, one of 41 invitees, was unsure whether he would join the three-day camp, scheduled for Aug. 11-13, after receiving a late invitation for last year’s training camp in preparation for the FIBA World Cup and being one of first three players cut along with teammate Bradley Beal and Atlanta Hawks forward Paul Millsap. Beal confirmed he is also participating in the minicamp over the weekend. The camp will be held on UNLV’s campus and will conclude with a scrimmage on Aug. 13."
Wall is one of the best point guards in basketball, but when stacked up against the best of the best, the weaknesses in his offensive game really stand out. Why take Wall over Stephen Curry, Chris Paul or Kyrie Irving? All three are elite shoots and Wall...isn't.
But he's still a tremendous all-around player and the best defender of the lot. It'll be interesting to see if he makes the cut.
