Washington Wizards point guard John Wall is one of the best at his position in the NBA and with a desire to get better with the new offense run by head coach Randy Wittman, he has changed his diet. That means eliminating junk food. From J. Michael of CSN Mid-Atlantic:

"Based on where he is with his conditioning alone for the 2015-16 season could vault him to another level going into Year 6. He has given up a major vice. 'Everything,' Wall said of the latest additions to his do-not-eat list. 'Gummi Bears. You know the type of snacks you have at the side of your bed. Just not eating a lot of carbs, not eating too much bad food, snacks at night and stuff like that.' The fast-paced tempo that the Wizards are going to play with this season, which begins Wednesday, has forced Wall to go to another level. To be able to perform at an elite level on both ends, with little rest in between, requires it."

The preseason and practices over the last few weeks have been tough due to the new up-tempo offense and it is something the players could not have done last year.

"I had to get into better shape," Wall said. "Like I've said (before), last year's shape probably wouldn't have helped me in the start of this preseason the way we were playing. ... I can still get in better shape."
