Can John Wall be as good or better than Kyrie Irving?

Wall actually has a better career *winning percentage* than Kyrie. Not like the Wizards have great talent either.
Obviously Kyrie played at an All Star level before getting hurt. Getting about 23/6/4 in 36 mins a night.
Wall's numbers since coming off the injury havent been as impressive. However, his "per 36" is 18/9/4
Not bad.
Kyrie's ability to hit the jump shot has what separated him and Wall so far. If Wall ever gets a decent jumper....I think he could be as good if not better.
Wall is the superior passer/defender. However, Kyrie is clutch as hell though.
A few years ago....I would have thought Wall would CLEARLY be better than Kyrie. However, Wall has fallen behind Kyrie these last two years.
Sidenote: Wall is 22. Kyrie is 21.

Wall has to become a better shooter. He still has the potential to become a great player, though.
It was always weird to me how fast everyone wrote off his career and gave up on all the expectations everyone had for him coming out of college. He's put up some really nice numbers for his age.

He could be as good as Rondo.

I actually think Wall can be a mix of Rondo and Westbrook.
Better scorer than Rondo (not as good as Westbrook) and a better passer than Westbrook (not as good as Rondo).

Wall can be the best PG in the league. He could be the LeBron of PG's. His size and speed is ridiculous. He's playing like a superstar ever since his max contract statements. He's gone from average to GREAT over the past couple of weeks. Hope he keeps it up.
Last 7 games:
23.3 ppg
10.4 apg
4.9 rpg
2.3 spg
55.5 FG%
That's absurd.

It would be sweet if these 2 can forge a new rivalry with these 2 teams over the next decade. That's about all we can hope for

Damn dude juked an old, poor defender
Wall's ceiling is Rondo. He is a very good distributor and ok scorer. Wall > Kyrie?

I disagree. Wall's ceiling is more like Russell Westbrook with better passing ability IMO.
