re: John Wall has been on a tear since Beal returned

This is a ridiculously clown post, bro. His numbers are arguably better without Beal. 2.4% more is so much more efficient? That equates to 1 extra made bucket every 7 or so games. Considering the sample size, its probably literally the difference between 1 shot rimming out.
Even if you buy that the 2 extra assists are statistically relevant, does that actually mean he's playing better? Beal might just be scoring more buckets than his backup who Wall made equally good passes to. His stats are almost exactly what you would expect with the return of a good 2 guard. A few less points, same efficiency, and a couple more assists. Change in rebounds, blocks, and steals are almost certainly a product of sample size.
I really think this is the stupidest premise for a thread I've ever seen. I don't see how it can't be a joke. Why didn't you just make a thread that John Wall has been playing well this year?

2 more assists, 1.5 more rebs, 1 more blocks, scoring more efficiently and playing better defense = playing better. Hes responsible for more points scored, either by scoring himself or assisting, with a lower usage rate, shooting the ball less and scoring the ball more efficiently.
And his 3pt% without Beal was 25%, with Beal its 37.5%.
The 1 thing that people have knocked John Wall for is his lack of efficiency. Before Beal returned from injury, Wall was at 43% which is right around his career average. Since Beal returned, hes been shooting 45.8% which is by far the best of his career. And over an 82game season, that 2% difference adds up.
And look at his last 9 games....16.8ppg, 12.8assists, 5.8rebs, 1.5blocks, 2.0steals, and shooting 48.6%. Thats 3.7assists more, almost 2 rebs more, 1 block more, and more efficient scorer by a good margin.
