John Wall is a long, athletic dude. Perhaps a bit longer and more athletic than Dennis Schröder was expecting on this play during Sunday’s Game 1 playoff matchup between the Atlanta Hawks and the Washington Wizards.
With Schröder driving down the left side of the lane, Wall came from behind to swat the Hawks PG for a thunderous chasedown block.

The Hawks wound up getting the rebound and eventually a 3-pointer, but I think Schröder will go up a bit stronger next time.
