But of course, he isn’t always the most productive player on the team. The amazing thing is that he can seemingly have an uneventful game, and when the win is on the line, he takes the ball and makes something happen.

The kid has been very clutch for us when we needed a big shot, and has simply willed the team to victory on multiple occasions when we should have lost. Unlike Turner, Wall is surrounded by NBA caliber talent, and doesn’t have to be spectacular…he simply has to be a point guard and he does that. The one part where I will agree with you is….I would take Cousins with the top pick. I believe that guy is going to be really special. Cousins has been asked to be a post player only this season, but he’s got a really good face up game as well, and in the NBA I believe he will be a load.

Wall is one of those guys that doesn’t always knock you down wowing you. Then you look at the stat sheet and see he has 9 assists and 18 points. I believe that’s truly what makes him special. He didn’t read his own press clippings and become a “me first” player. He could have settled for awesome personal stats, but he clearly doesn’t care about any of that. He wants to win and is a big reason that UK is doing just that.

Since when are we talking about Kansas games? Kentucky is “UK”, not “KU”. Anyone who has watched more than a few Kentucky games should know this. You’re certainly not helping your credibility. John Wall is far ahead of Rose at this point in his career. He is faster, jumps higher, is a better shooter, and just as tall and athletic as Rose is today!

Wall is a very good player and should go on to have a solid NBA career. I just wonder if his hype didn’t precede him, if everyone would think about him the same way. That is my point essentially.

This was not based on 1 game. I missed only 1 KU game that was nationally televised, so I’ve seen enough to form an opinion. It was taken to literal when I said “few”. I referenced the Wake game because it was the most recent.

Nowhere did I say that Ish Smith is a better player. To clarify, I think Ish did a better job of breaking down the defense with dribble-drive penetration. But he’s apparently allergic to finishing around the basket because he inexplicably missed at least 10 gimmies – easily. And yes, UK won by 30…but they’re team is much better than Wake’s. I was just talking about dribble-drive penetration.

He is surrounded by other future 1st round draft picks, so maybe he doesn’t have to do as much. If that’s the case, why is he in the running for Player of the year if he “doesn’t have to do much”?

Is he really head and shoulders – far and away better than Derrick Rose? Really?

Someone brought up Rondo and LeBron is disprove what I’m saying. I’m confused. When did I mention Rondo or LeBron?

By scoring in the half court set, I mean manufacturing your own shot in a half court set.
