John Wall Shines in Preseason Debut

Filed under: Mavericks, Wizards, NBA Preseason

DALLAS -- Washington coach Flip Saunders promised at least three "spectacular'' plays by his star rookie in his debut, and John Wall did not disappoint.



Then again, Saunders made sure Wall got enough time to fill up the highlight reel. The rookie point guard played 38 minutes in his first preseason game. Research is now going on to see if Wilt Chamberlain even played that much in his preseason debut.



Wall's evening actually started with a lowlight as the NBA's No. 1 draft pick shot an air ball on a three-pointer. But he settled down in a hurry, finishing with 21 points, nine assists and four steals in Washington's 97-94 win over Dallas at the American Airlines Center.
