John Wall finished a rookie season on Wednesday that would have likely resulted in a Rookie of the Year award if not for the presence of Blake Griffin, who had his own rookie season delayed by one year due to injury.
“It seems like it just started,” said Wall. “I’m kind of glad it’s over, so I can take some time off to rest and just study the game more, study what people did to me, study what I can learn from other guys and just getting back healthy next year and just know what I’ve got to do. But it’s tough. I still want to play.”
