John Wall may be the second most athletic PG in the league behind Westbrook. Yeah, I'd take him.

A voice of reason. Thank you.

I'd probably place Derrick Rose ahead of him.

Yeah, you could go that way. I think Wall may be a bit more athletic while Rose is just smarter and more effective in how he uses his athleticism. But that's a narrow line to draw.

If we're talking about MVP Rose, it's really not that narrow of a line. That was leapes and bounds better than any of Wall's seasons, going by the eye test, advanced metrics, any kind of stats really, you name it. Again, when it comes to Wall, we're talking, we has to talk about potential. There is not much else to go on so far. And yes, i would probably agree with nowherman on this, Wall's ceiling is higher than Rose's was (now it is obvious with Rose's injury). He could potentially be just as lethal of a scorer, but a better passer, and maybe a better defender as well.

That's not at all what I meant by "narrow line." I meant that it's difficult to try and parse out pure athleticism versus the ability to smartly use that athleticism.

I never said Wall was better than Rose at any point. I said I thought he might be more athletic.
