The gap? It’s only closing if somehow John Wall starts playing better than he’s ever played before. Right now his face is covered in the dust that Fox left him in.

Why did you ask this here? Lol of course everyone will say Fox as everyone is scared of getting downvoted.

I was in 7th grade a couple hours south of Sac when John Wall had his tournament run and got drafted so I can only speak in terms of outreach. Kids would “do the John Wall” during every pickup game, every practice, and every dance. His shoes were the shoes everyone wanted and the guy wasn’t even drafted yet. He was known for his speed and explosiveness as well as his passing. I work in schools in Sac now. Even though we live in Sac, the hype for Fox is nothing compared to what it was for Wall in my hometown.

Looking back at his regular season and post season stats signal that he was a better passer, which I do remember kids talking about. He didn’t score as much as Fox does, but he was a really good scorer and averaged high teens in a time when only a handful of players averaged more than 20 points. The most telling factor though is that he got his team out of the first round twice. I’d say if Fox’s career ended today, then John Wall had a better career. If Fox gets us significantly more than 50 wins in a season (something Wall never did with his Wizards) and gets us out of the second round then he passes Wall in my eyes.

Its close, prime wall was unstoppable

I’d say Fox is better, but I can see why there’s an argument for Wall. After this season however, there will no longer be an argument.

Fox will soon establish himself mainstream as having one of the if not greatest basketball IQs and the speed, fluidity, and an c factor to be named later to pull off miracles. Missing a free throw on purpose and getting his own rebound and hitting a 3? With a busted ankle? He’s on another level.

I once asked Kosta Koufas at the Roseville Galleria who was faster, Fox or Wall and he said Fox
