Hopefully Washington doesn't turn him into . He's already a very mature player and can lift them from being one of the laughing stocks of the offseason.
John Wall cancels ESPY appearance
In a last-second change of heart, John Wall has elected to stay in Las Vegas and will decline his invitation to Los Angeles to make an appearance at the ESPY Awards. His adviser and business manager, Brian Clifton, informed the team that this week is about the Wizards and getting acclimated to the NBA, so the 19-year-old will bypass the event, which is hosted by "Saturday Night Live" personality Seth Meyers and airs live tonight at 9 p.m.
Wall had originally intended to catch a flight to Los Angeles after the Wizards' morning scrimmage against the Portland Trail Blazers and then fly back before the team's walk-through on Thursday. Dwon Clifton, another adviser and co-agent for Wall, said some unexpected scheduling conflicts, including a meeting for NBA rookies, would've forced Wall to scramble to make a difficult and quick turnaround. Basketball "is most important this week and we didn't want to disrupt the focus on that," Dwon Clifton wrote in a text message on Wednesday.
Wall has averaged 21 points, nine assists and eight turnovers through the first two summer league games. The Wizards (2-0) will return to action on Thursday against Dallas.
