Pierce: Wall Learning to Become Superstar in Playoffs

(Washington Wizards John) Wall’s court vision, passing, pace, dissection of the defense and control of the game has been the main act for the Wizards as they took Game 1 against the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday in their Eastern Conference semifinals series and swept the Toronto Raptors in the first round.

“John has put his superstar cap on,” Wizards forward Paul Pierce said. “I always say this is where the stars of the NBA become superstars – in the playoffs. This is where they’re born, and that’s what you’re seeing with John Wall right now.”
