Provided that the health concerns don't saddle Wall over his career, his relatively bumpy start has a silver lining: it reduces the probability of him becoming an arrogant POS. I've said it a number of times, but the biggest question mark hovering around Wall is the company he keeps: LBJ and Calipari. In professional basketball, it doesn't get much lower. The first year struggles will hopefully limit lePrima donnahood.

Well I for one would chalk breaking your knee cap and missing your entire first season as a "rocky start". Add last year's rehab to the fact he already was one of THE hardest training athletes with all he did under Frank Matrisciano's workouts (that man makes P90X look like Mousercise), and you've got one of the hardest working SOB's in the league. Primmadonna he is not.
