You never want to see guys call out teammates, especially if that guy is the captain and best player of the team.





Still, that's what a frustrating, quick playoff exit after a long season of hard work will do.





In the case of John Wall and the Washington Wizards, who were disposed of in Game 6 at the hands of the Toronto Raptors, he did not hold back in pointing out his team's flaws.

John Wall says Wizards need to upgrade from Marcin Gortat, Ian Mahinmi: We need 'athletic bigs' https://t.co/Qz0oirgpLk pic.twitter.com/n7vph9AyYd — CBS Sports NBA (@CBSSportsNBA) April 28, 2018

According to his post-series interview, the five-time All-Star Wall had the following to say, per NBC Sports Chase Hughes:





"Just got to add some pieces. A lot, to be honest. There's a lot that we can use ... I think it's pretty obvious. I don't need to point it out. I think the way the league is going, you need athletic bigs, you need scoring off the bench, you need all of those types of things."





Wall certainly didn't stop there, even name dropping at the expense of his fellow teammates: " We don't really have an athletic big. I mean, Ian [Mahinmi] is older. [ Marcin Gortat ] is older. They're not athletic guys, but they do the little things that permit their game to help as much as possible."





Very harsh, but not too far off, especially after the performances.





Since the 27-year-old Wall outshined everyone on the court, maybe he is permitted to say such things.

John Wall in this series:

Game 1: 23 pts, 15 asts, 4 steals

Game 2: 29 pts, 9 asts, 4 reb

Game 3: 28 pts, 14 asts, 7 reb, 4 steals

Game 4: 27 pts, 14 asts, 6 reb, 3 steals

We'll see if the coaching staff and front office listens. Either way, it's another season and another early-round exit for a team that is missing a lot to finally break through in the Eastern Conference.
