John Wall is the last first overall pick by the Wizards in the 2010 NBA Draft. He was drafted out of the University of Kentucky after a solid freshman year. He averaged 16.6 points, 6.5 assists and 4.3 rebounds per contest and taking home the SEC Player of the Year Award and Rupp Trophy.

After taking Kentucky to a 35-3 record, Wall made the leap to the league after one collegiate season. He is the fourth No. 1 overall pick in franchise history and looks to be in need of some extra help heading into season nine.

Wall was selected to the 2010-11 All-Rookie team during his first year in the league. He was an All-Defensive team (Second team) selection during the 2014-15 season. After the 2016-17, he earned All-NBA third team honors.

The explosive 6-foot-4 point guard is averaging 18.9 points, 9.2 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 1.7 steals through 541 appearances with the Wizards. He became the third player in NBA history to average at least 20 points, 10 assists and two steals per game after the 2016-17 season.

His career-highs in points stand at 52 which he scored on Dec. 6, 2017 against the Orlando Magic. He set his career-high mark in his assists at 20 against the Chicago Bulls back on March 17, 2017.

So far, he holds the franchise record for assists (5,003) and steals (927) as well as the franchise single-season assist record (831), which was previously held by former point guard Rod Strickland.
