This is where I first got an extended look at Wall in the practices, and he was great in the actual game.

Not the best quality, but def worth a look. The block at about 1:00 is among the best plays I've seen in person. He's a very special prospect.

Nice block. Almost Brewer-ish.

Yeah, that was nice. He will be something special alright.

I almost crapped my pants when rumors spread that Wall entered this years draft with Griffin/Rubio. That would have been awesome.

Im already looking forward to getting excited about drafting him, followed by the thisissoridiculousitsalmostcomical feeling after we get the 4th pick in the lotto

Maybe Kahn thinks he can play Wall with Flynn and Rubio on the court at the same time.

if we got wall, I would be willing to give it a shot. We could revolutionize the way the NBA plays, by playing 3 PG's at a time...

Just imagine what the Knick fans would be willing to part with to get John Wall.

A very athletic tending of the goal.

It looks like it.

Maybe this will show my ignorance, but didn't Wall travel at 1:12ish? He took a dribble and then stepped three times after it. Or is the literal rule that the dribble allows you to step once if it's close to in tempo of your dribble?

His body control and ability to finish through contact is absurd.

It was clearly a crab dribble.

If we drafted Wall next year the media would castrate David Kahn and Glen Taylor live on ESPN.

Ok, we can twist it to work.

rubio is 6'4(6'5) with a 6'9 wingspan. As he matures and adds strength he will be a SG size. So we would not want him chasing a small pg around. defensively he should be guarding the sg.

Flynn is tiny, but a solid defender. Also a great locker-room personality. If we were to draft a stud sg next year Flynn would likely be our 6th man 25-30min off the bench.

Wall starts at the pg spot where him+rubio+brewer destroy passing lanes. Wall has freedom to score more than run a team. (*i do not know him well enough to know if he is a ball hog or what)

6'5, 6'3, 6'0 with Ellington picking up the spare minutes. Talent is there. Why the hell not run with it? With the way NBA rules have changed a team is at its best when it has players that can slash.
