| PG for Kentucky, he's their best player and probably the best player in the NCAA.
Stats 17.3 ppg, 7.1 apg, .349 in 3p%, 3.8 rpg, 2.1 stls., 0.4 bpg. He's a beast i guess, he probably will be the number 1 draft pick, but New Jersey wont take him i think, they already have young guys they need to develop, they'll probably trade their draft pick for a veteran. | |

| New Jersey will do no such thing. They're going to take the talent that's there, to pair with their other young pieces. They may not take Wall if they get the number one pick, but they will certainly take the best forward available to them. Not only does it provide them with cheap, possibly all-star talent (where-as trading for a veteran now would cost them an extra 10 million a year), but it also keeps them young and looking towards the future, while still having all that cap room in the off-season. Name me a superstar that wouldn't find it interesting to play with one of the league's best young centers, best young points guards, and the number 1 pick in the draft. The fact is if that they don't have to trade their pick away to get great talent this off-season. They have the money, the location, and the marketability to go out and get two stars and still keep their pick. John Wall is a beast Darko. He's a scorer that happens to be gifted with point guard skills as well. He can already shoot from deep and has what is unquestionably the best mid-range game of anyone playing college ball right now. He can post up smaller guards because of his size as well as drive by them because of his athleticism. His turnovers are unusually high, but that's a product of playing in Calipari's uptempo offensive system. He completely took over against one of the better team's in the country on the road at Connecticut. He's also led his team to impressive wins over both North Carolina and Louisville. I think it'd be amazing to see what he could do without all the talent he has around him at Kentucky, because very rarely has it been Necessary for him to take over a game because of the abilities of all his teammates. Bottom line, he's going to be the best talent available in the draft, whether he's taken at number 1 or not. His stats: http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/players/88599 | |

| He is a PG and he is the best player in college...
He can finish very well at the rim... He is very good on the break.. He has a pretty good passer and has a good jumpshot...
However his jumpshot isn't good enough to make opponents not back off him... And so he constantly drives in heavy traffic... But he can easily improve his jumpshot...
He does struggle when the tempo slows down though...so we'll see where he'll go with that... High turnover numbers and is not that great of a defender but his size and athleticism gives him the opportunity to be very good...
All in all though....he is clearly the best player in the draft..(if he does choose to leave for college) | |
