Guess who was better than Anthony Davis last week? Not James Harden. Not Chris Paul. Not even Brandon Knight.

John Hildred Wall.

John Wall has arrived in full. And no one other than Marcin Gortat seems to be talking about it, because Wall is doing it while his scoring has declined.

Gortat on Wall after Friday night's win:

Just don't trust Gortat. Here is the Player Rater over the past seven days as of this morning:

1. John Wall, PG, WAS: 14.61

2. Anthony Davis, PF/C, NO 14.39

It was only one week. This fantasy season has (rightfully) been about the Anthony Davis Numerical Supernova. And Stephen Curry will still end the season as the top point guard in fantasy, if not the top player in fantasy, period.

But the week Wall just threw down merits deeper discussion. It temporarily puts Wall in the conversation as a top-5 fantasy player. But it was atypical because Wall is prospering in ways that don't normally send point guards rocketing up the Player Rater.

Let's start with his shooting. Wall has been in a prolonged slump that has edged perilously close to "season-long." He’s regressed, and is struggling to shoot 42 percent. The main reason behind Wall's 2013-14 leap was ironing out one ugly outside shot. In 2011-12, Wall put up a throwback 3-point performance, in that it took you back to the days before 3-pointers counted, shooting 7.1 percent from downtown that season.

But by the end of 2013-14, Wall was hitting a respectable 35 percent of his 3s. He did what many observers believed Wall couldn't do: he evolved, making the kind of leap one expects out of leaders and superstars. Wall averaged a career-high 19.3 PPG and 1.3 3PT.

Currently, though, Wall is on pace for his worst shooting season since 2011-12. He's almost two points per game below his 2013-14 average, and is shooting just 25.8 percent from 3-point range. His free throw shooting is down, from 80.5 percent to 78.8 percent.

Despite that, Wall has still been a top fantasy asset and his Washington Wizards are 13-6, and one bad late call in Boston on Sunday from a 14-5 mark. He's top-10 on the Player Rater and coming off a monster week.

Wall has elevated in fantasy and reality, although in ways that don't garner attention from efficiency-seeking offensive analytic mavens or point-seeking average fans. He is tied for just 29th in PER. He's had a rough year from the field. His usage rate has declined. This is a prescription for some serious fantasy slippage.

But Wall is overwhelming traditional routes to greatness via sheer across-the-board volume. Volume in areas you'd expect from a top point guard, but also in areas that you don't expect.

He's third in the NBA in assists at 10.0 per game. He's averaging 4.7 rebounds, which is top-10 for a point guard.

But John Wall is bending spoons with his mind on defense. Wall is second in NBA in steals with 2.2 per game. That's almost a half-steal per game better than last season. If you have John Wall on your team, you're contending for the league lead in steals. That's special. But the 0.7 blocks Wall averages per game are just as special.

In fantasy, where blocks are at a premium, getting 0.7 blocks out of a 6-foot-4 floor general is superior production. There are two point guards in the NBA capable of averaging 1.0 blocks per tilt: John Wall and Eric Bledsoe. Bledsoe took a year off from this stat, but he's back to swatting shots in 2014-15. Wall leads all point guards in block rate at 1.7 percent.

Over the past week, John Wall was a top-10 blocks producer in fantasy. Not for point guards. For all positions. Wall out-blocked Marc Gasol and Tyson Chandler.

Winning with ball movement and defense doesn't garner a lot of eyeballs. Wall is achieving in a way that is only fully evidenced via face time. And he is taking this whole team along for the ride.

Like Wall, the Wizards are winning, but anomalies abound. The Wizards are fifth in the NBA in assists, but they're only 18th in points per game. The superior passing has notched the Wizards 3rd overall in 3-point shooting percentage, but they're only 27th in 3-pointers made. But they're on track to win 50-plus games.

And they're being led by a John Wall who is seeing the court with top-5 acumen.

Think what will happen when that shooting slump ends.
