Well, 2007 gave us Derrick Rose, 2008 gave us Brandon Jennings and 2009 will give us…attention ladies and gentlemen who think this website is all about hyping things… the next highly talented point guard out of high school, John Wall. Wall is super quick and often compared to Derrick Rose. He is 6'4 and possibly still growing. He is an athletic freak of nature, as he sometimes surprises people with his dunks, much like Brandon Jennings. He is a very talented passer and can handle the ball so well—people say he has a yo-yo. Last but not least, you knew I would say something else about what “he is,” so, he is a decent defender, usually using his length and quickness to recover and block shots.
Wall possesses all the tools a team would want in their future point guard. His only weakness is his inconsistent jump shot. Overtime that can be fixed, ask Derrick Rose. Many people have heard of Wall and much of the hype that follows him, but once he steps on that Kentucky floor, he will no longer be hype.
In the Calipari offense, surrounded with loads of talent, Wall will stand out and I won't be surprised if people begin to refer to him as “Derrick Rose 2.0.” If Wall does what is expected, he should lead Kentucky to a National Championship, at worst a Final Four appearance. Needless to say, Kentucky is the team to watch this season. If you have no idea who John Wall is, please watch the video below.
You're absolutely right. This young man is a problem and has blazing speed with the ball. I look forward to seeing him on the big stage
