Flip Saunders defended his rookie point guard John Wall against criticism of his dance before Washington's home opener this week.
"He is 19, 20. He's got great enthusiasm with what he does. His first time at Kentucky, he did a dance," Saunders said. "I think it would be different if you weren't around him each day, but John's very professional. He wasn't doing anything to disrespect the game. It was something he was excited about playing."
Wall was the first overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft.
"If he has dance and get 29, 13 and 9 steals and cut down on the turnovers, he can dance all he wants," Saunders said.
