Seen him play, and saw a few interviews of him. The kid can play, and he seems better than Josh Smith skill wise, but he is dumber than a box of rocks. He is your stereotypical NBA player who has a hard time forming sentences and has taken 5 years to get through high school. Even with that though, he will probably he a high pick in the draft (he is trying to exploit a loophole and get in this years draft right out of high school). Fun player to watch play basketball, thats for sure

i would say more steve francis than anything. relies strictly on athleticism. nowhere in that mix did it show him shooting. all it showed were flashy passes/dunks and crossovers aka steve francis. and1 player, not good enough for the nba

yeah thats cause half the gm's are idiots and draft on pure athleticism (see darius miles, steve francis). what happens when he suffers a knee injury and loses lift??

John Wall is the number 1 HS player in the country. Some say he a better prospect than Derrick Rose. If he declares he probably go number 1. At worst he would go number 3.
