I think he needs to prove himself in the NBA...until then, there are lots of questions.

Well they promote him as the next Jason Kidd, but he is not the athlete that Kidd was, nor the defender against the NBA speedsters. Also he cant finish very well like Kidd. No doubt that he is really talented, but when is the last time that an average athlete has been star on the league playing PG?

Now people rate Evan Turner as the number 1 draft pick. Impressive in March but who will pick him up?

Interesting draft and Free Agentdevelopments during the summer! Looking forward to it! I personally hope NY Knicks will be coming out as a winner during the summer. Clippers has a good chance too...

yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the "present."

Most of the mock drafts I've seen have Wall going first, but the draft if a while off.

Well, I saw the videos and the guy is simply a phenomenon! How old is he? 17? 18? Imagine his athletic skills at the age of 25! He has technique and GREAT ball handling and passing skills too. Great blocker, keen rebounder, so he must be good defender, too!

I am not that high on Ricky. The classic hype machine. His development is going well, but i doubt that he will be able to hold his own on the NBA speed.

John Wall.
First overall draft pick in 2010 selected by Washington Wizards.

Google him, you might be able to find something

In most ESPN fantasy drafts John wall is being selected in the 7th round on average. This is not too bad for a guy who hasnt played one minute in the NBA yet. Someone mentioned that Wall had excellent ball handling skills, but in the summer league of this year his big weakness was Turnovers.....bunches of them. This is common for a rookie but for a top tier PG, turnovers need to be kept to a minimum. Until he curbs this I would hold off on the claim of 'great ball handling skills', at least for the moment. The clips I have seen of him are awesome, but as with many NBA players it seems flash is more important than substance.

I find it funny when people here have compared Barcelona to Minnesota of the NBA. As long as you have to compare your best to our worst, you answer your own question.
