Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld believes that John Wall should’ve claimed top rookie honors.

While discussing the Wizards’ prospects in the draft lottery, Grunfeld expressed his excitement with picking Wall as the franchise cornerstone last summer and said, “He should’ve been rookie of the year...except for the rule of a second-year player being eligible.”

Griffin wasn’t exactly a second-year player since he missed the entire 2009-10 season after suffering a fractured left patella in the Clippers’ preseason finale.
