We’re still a couple of weeks away before teams start heading to training camp. Do you know what that means? If you guessed more NBA off-season rankings, well, you guessed correctly.

Sports Illustrated recently posted their Top 100 NBA Players List, ranking John Wall the 31st best player in the NBA. Here’s a snippet from the John Wall portion of the piece.

That Wall led the league in turnovers remains his biggest need for development, but he attacks defenses with such speed and relentlessness that it’s an excusable reality rather than a crisis.

Like most people who read the article, I didn’t agree with all of S.I.’s rankings. After all, these sort of things are subjective and it’s virtually impossible to come to a consensus on ranking the top 100 players in the NBA.

With that said, I’m not the only one who believes that John Wall was ranked lower than he probably should have been.

As Mike Sykes pointed out, Kyrie Irving, Tony Parker, Damian Lillard, Kyle Lowry and Derrick Rose were all ranked above John Wall.

Although I think it’s possible to make an argument for some of the players listed, I can’t say that I agree with the rankings. Derrick Rose essentially hasn’t played competitive basketball in the NBA for two seasons, yet is still ranked above John Wall, who is coming off an All-Star season. Rose played for Team USA during the FIBA World Cup tournament, and well, didn’t look too good. I don’t think it’s fair to rank Rose above Wall at this point, given the situation.

John Wall is also coming off a season where he was just as good if not better than Kyrie Irving, and he also led his team to the second round of the NBA Playoffs. Irving has accomplished a lot more individually than John Wall, most recently winning the NBA All-Star Game MVP and FIBA MVP, but none of his individual accomplishments have translated to team success.

On another note, Paul Pierce was ranked the second best player on the Washington Wizards’ roster, above players like Bradley Beal, Nene, and Marcin Gortat.

This isn’t the first time John Wall was underrated. Besides playing in the NBA Playoffs, John Wall hasn’t played any games on national television since his rookie season, which hasn’t helped people familiarize themselves with his game or the team.

It’ll take some time for him to get the recognition he deserves, but if there’s anyone who will use things like this as motivation, it’s John Wall.
