The 2017 All-NBA Third Team member also commended the Heat's acquisition of point guard Terry Rozier, who joined the team via trade at the end of January.

"I think getting [Terry Rozier] was a great piece for them...somebody that can make plays and pick 'n roll for them, but even if I didn't start, coming off the bench, I think I could be another person that can help them and impact them," Wall added.
