Recently, the famous American data **Draft King's column "Point Game" invited Wall to participate in the show. In response to the question of whether he has retired, Wall denied that he has left the basketball circle, and said that he is still competitive, and his biggest wish is to return to the NBA. He named and said he wants to join the Suns and believes the Suns need a real point guard.
In the interview, Wall emphasized his love for basketball and willingness to contribute. Although he is no longer chasing the ring, he is still eager to continue playing for the team and showing what he can do. He confidently states that he is better at receiving and shooting than many active players. While the Suns have scorers like Beal and Booker, they need a true playmaker who doesn't give up their strengths for the sake of the team.
Wall's statement is not the first time, as early as this offseason, when Beal was traded to the Suns, he expressed his intention to join the Suns. It coincided with the Suns not having a point guard, so the news got a lot of attention.
However, things didn't turn out the way Wall had hoped. The Suns decided to start the season with a point-less lineup, and halfway through the season, the Suns were only officially registered point guards for Booker and Goodwin, along with two two-way contract players, Lee and Maledon. With the team announcing that it won't buy a guard at the trade deadline, it's clear that the Suns don't really value the point guard position.
In a way, the Suns don't lack point guards, it's that they don't need them. This makes it even harder for Wall, a player who has had a negative efficiency rating in the NBA for years, to find a reason to join the Suns.
Still, Wall stressed on the show"I'm not the best player anymore and I can't deliver a high level of performance in 38 or 40 minutes, but I really love to play. "This quote reflects his love for basketball and his desire to be able to contribute to the team.
Perhaps, Wall can consider coming to the Chinese CBA to play for half a season, which will be a new challenge and an opportunity to show his strength.
After all, Wall was once one of only three representatives in the NBA who could average "20 points and 10 assists" per game, and in his heyday in 2015, he even led Irving to become the No. 1 point guard in the East. Now, although he is no longer the best player, he still retains his love and confidence in basketball, and hopes to have the opportunity to prove himself again and return to the NBA stage.
Anyway, let's wait and see how Wall's basketball journey plays out.
