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.

Yeah, but you can be a great ball handler from a technical standpoint, but if you make bad decision ("rookie decisions"), you can produce a lot of turnovers. I think John Wall will be a good player...but there is no gaurantee that he's makes it to the top-10 or top-5 PG ranking.

from my experience of fantasy , i stay away from rookies no matter how good they are being said. if you check we havent got a decent rookie to hit major top 20 players or some on top 50 for the pass few seasons.

but i wont take away to say that john wall has a pretty good chance in the nba to be a star player. hope he doesnt get ruin by arenas
