Thanks...definetely checking it out, John Wall is already an NBA starter calibre player imo. (at least)

John wall will be as big lebron. People are tuning in just to watch him. I think in his prime this guy could average 30 and 10 with a couple steals and a block. Hes that good, hes already better then derrick rose in my opinion. He has better handles and hes a better shooter in my opinion

Man, its been a long time since I've seen an NCAA game this physical. It's a battle.

And no, Wall will not be anywhere near Lebron... but he still will be an excellent player.

He'll never average 30 and 10. He'll probably be the best point guard in the league for several years, but 30 and 10 isn't a realistic projection for a PG, not to mention one that is as unselfish and can dominate the game in a variety of other ways as he does.

lol at this kid being in the same sentence as Lebron

The refs are giving kentucky a lot of calls.

Wall is struggling...he's been looking to distribute almost every time and now he's trying to score a bit more and his shot is not falling.

you have to rely on wall to score early on to get him going for the rest of the game

Wall is to pg's what lebron is too other Sf's. I think hes on another level athleticaly. He can break just about everyone down and his shot is pretty good already. I exagerrated on the 30-10 part but i can see this kid averagine 25-10-2stls and a block.Very Cp3 like numbers. Except hes more athletic then cp3 and maybe could develop a better jumpshot.

lol John Wall is no where near as "big" as Lebron when he was in high school, Lebron was considered a prodigy when he was in high school.

However, this guy's potential is through the roof, and you can't deny that he'll have a huge impact on the team that picks him.

Bobcats leading 96-92 with 2:53 remaining in the 4th. Captain Jack at the FT.
Go Bobcats!

S-Jax with the dagger 3 against Miami.

A win by Charlotte and Toronto today, and we'd be .5 game back of 5th.

I like old school ballers like him. Nothing too flashy, just taking care of business. He would be amazing on a contending team.

I love that when the game was 41-41 and Wall decided to become more aggressive he started from the defensive end and used that to spark his team, not by forcing shots on the offensive end.
Many legit NBA players still rely on their offence to spark their team rather than buckling down on defence and trying to rally their team from there. Impressive stuff.
