| Wall, John | Kentucky | 6'4" | 196 | PG, SG | Frosh. | John Wall is a game changer. His speed in defensive "recovery" situations is like nothing I've seen before from a 6'4" Point Guard. He is a dynamo! Electrifying. ...Wall plays with a smile on his face - usually because he is owning the game. He makes difficult plays look routine. He is simply too fast with the ball for defenders to react to. ...Right handed but has a left - and he will dunk with that left hand - which seems to befuddle defenders who expect him to be trying to finish with his right hand. He wants to run, run, and run some more. He makes quick decisions and whips the ball inside. He gets involved as a help defender. His 6' 9.25" wingspan allows him to disrupt passing lanes. ...He can shake off defenders with his quickness, ball handling ability and his wide array of moves. ...His weaknesses include an inconsistent jump shot, short lapses in concentration, and occasionally pouting. Statistically speaking - his efficiency is lower than Derek Rose's was as a freshman. ...From Raleigh, NC.…Dished eleven assists in the 2009 Hoop Summit game for USA Basketball. Ranked the No. 1 overall prospect of 2009 by Rivals.com. ...Wall has the elite speed, NBA body, and ball-handling ability to immediately be one of the best dozen Point Guards in the NBA. |
Where do I expect Wall to be taken? First.
Our best advice: In 2007 - the 1st pick was Greg Oden. We said - "take Kevin Durant".
Our worst advice: In 2005 - the 1st pick was Andrew Bogut. We said - "take Marvin Williams".
