John Wall was drafted as the first overall pick by the Washington Wizards in the 2010 NBA Draft, and the point guard has since become a five-time All-Star. Wall is currently signed to a four-year, $170 million contract, and despite the franchise's recent troubles, Wall has reiterated his desire to spend his entire career in Washington:

"I’m not one of those guys that wants to play for multiple teams. I want to play for one organization. If it comes down to it, where you have to move around and it don't work, they're giving me the opportunity to come back, not this year but next year after."

Wall has played just 73 times over the past two seasons and is expected to miss the entire 19-20 campaign with a ruptured left Achilles tendon.
