When John Wall was selected by the Washington Wizards as the number one pick over-all in last year’s draft, he remained optimistic despite the rebuilding mode the Capitols are in. That is because he was coming off from a winning basketball program in college. But as the season progresses, reality sets in. He did not expect the transition to be this difficult. Frustrations and disappointments had become part of his everyday life with the Wizards. Wall has seen more downs than ups since October of last year, but he says he has slowly adjusted to the “sometimes unfair” world of pro basketball and treats everything as a learning experience not only for him but to the whole team as well, according to the Oregonian.
“It's tough. I knew coming in it was going to be a rebuilding process. I think we're doing the right thing bringing people around and trying to get young guys and veteran guys to help us out, but it's tough with injuries ... as a young group, you have to play hard and compete. When we do that, we're basically in just about every game. But nights when we don't do it teams are too talented and they blow us out. All you can really do is just keep trying to learn and get better throughout the season. In the offseason, focus on watching film and develop on what you need to work on.”
