gary parrish, not that i always like what he writes:
” Consider that Wall has played eight games and scored key points in the final minute to help win four of them. Some great college players will go entire careers without doing that. But Wall has already hit a game-winning jumper to beat Miami of Ohio, hit a pull-up jumper followed by free throws with 0.5 seconds remaining to force overtime in an eventual victory against Stanford, made two free throws with 4.3 seconds remaining to secure a win over North Carolina, and converted an I-can’t-believe-he-just-made-that three-point play with 30.8 seconds remaining to beat UConn.
If it sounds amazing, that’s because it is amazing.
If he sounds awesome, that’s because he is awesome.
“It’s just like I said of John Wall when I saw him play in high school; I said he’s at least as good as Derrick Rose,” UConn coach Jim Calhoun said. “Wall is all of that. Whatever that is, he’s all of that.”
And more, really.
Calipari won’t come right out and say it, but trust me when I tell you the UK staff believes Wall is better than Rose, i.e., the first pick of the 2008 NBA Draft and reigning NBA Rookie of the Year. Wall is bigger and stronger, and just as fast (if not faster). He’s more assertive, a better leader, and 10 times as good in clutch situations. That’s why regardless of whether you have Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Rose or some other point guard you love, if you’re a general manager with the top pick in June’s NBA Draft you had better take Wall and just figure it out.””
he won’t have a productive career if he goes number one, but he will if he goes 2 on down…. now you’re just being stubborn
