I know Knicks fans are happy they didn't get John Wall but I still want to share this...
8 Wizards have logged 5K mins in Wall's career. I looked at how he fared with a few of his current + former teammates. I thought it might help see the kind of impact he'd have on the Knicks.

The starting five of Wall, Beal, Porter, Gortat, and Markieff Morris logged more minutes together than any other five-man lineup in the NBA that season.

Wall assisted on 150 or more of Gortat's made field goals in four straight seasons -- from 2013-14 to 2016-17, per pbpstats.
The only reason it wasn't five straight is that Wall played half the season in 2017-18.
