Check my Stats Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 How good do you think this guy could be? I have hardly watched him at all this pre-season, but he really seems more ready for the league than I expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboveLegit Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 I watched almost every game I possibly could of him last year at Kentucky, and I knew he'd be a great player. But I'm still in shock, he's such an extraordinary player, especially watching him live in person. I think him being around guys like Gilbert, Kirk, Flip, and Sam Cassell will help him tremendously throughout his career. I think he fits the mold of a Rondo type player (with more potential) than a Derrick Rose. I think John already has Derrick beat on a few things- court vision, speed, and defense. He's going to be a top 3 defensive PG real soon, and will probably be near the top in APG. He's also a decent scorer, his jumper looks solid, obviously it needs a ton of work, but I like the mechanics of his shot and have been saying this since I saw him first play at Kentucky, his work ethic and dedication to the game will make him an above average jump shooter. In 2 years or so, we will be hearing John's name being mentioned with the likes of Paul and Williams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multi-Billionaire Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 He already passes, defends better than Rose. Rose would probably score more ppg this season, but it wouldn't take long before Wall surpasses Rose in nearly every stats category... except maybe the FG% department where Rose is pretty efficient.

The Lone Granger Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Can't really say it much better than AboveLegit just did. He's going to be the best point guard in the league in the next couple seasons, and maybe even the best player as well. Not only is he a great scorer and passer, but he's been extremely good with the ball. Some of the main concerns about John Wall coming out of the draft, were his ability to handle the ball without turnovers. Thus far in the preseason he's handled it exceptionally well, and I really believe this kid is going to be one of the top players, if not the top player in the NBA in a couple seasons. Washington's future looks very bright right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Blasco Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 I think he can be...wait for it...off the Wall good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 ^ haha I am going to go with something no one has said yet, Wall is going to be just another PG nothing special. I see him being nothing better than say Tony Parker. **Waits for someone to quote me underneath sig** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
