    Anyone watching the Kentucky/UNC game?

    John Wall is seriously the best PG prospect I've seen since Chris Paul. He has it all. Extremely impressive. I'd easily put him ahead of Rose as a Freshman.

    Whoever gets the #1 pick is damn lucky.

    Btw, I think he's the best College prospect since Oden.

    Kid's a stud, reminds me a lot of Wade and Rose.

    However, I don't know if he necessarily goes #1. If the Nets land the top pick, they do have Devin Harris at the PG.

    With that in mind though, I do think he's the top prospect in the nation right now and SHOULD go #1 in the '10 NBA Draft.

    I would imagine that if the Nets have the #1 pick, they draft Wall. And then on July 1, they ask LBJ "would you like us to trade Wall or Harris"?

    And speaking of Wall...looks like he might have tweaked his knee. Kentucky best hope he's not seriously hurt.

    I imagine they'd draft him as well. They could also move Harris to the SG if they do get him. He's got more of a scorers mentality as it is and I think he'd work fine there. That's just a REALLY short starting back court.

    Keep an eye on Patrick Patterson. He's a possible lotto pick. He'd sure look good in a Blazer uni.

    Currently putting up 16/11 and plays like a bull in the mold of a Brandon Bass.

    It's an easy choice on their part, you trade Harris for a SG and not think twice about it.

    That run in the first half was impressive. You're right, he is pretty awesome. But they have a few others that are good and are great at running the floor. Patterson runs the floor well.

    haha key word 'trying'.

    And I think the Nets draft him and trade away Devin Harris for a few more pieces on that team. They got a good future.

    I haven't followed much college yet this year, but I was under the impression Wall was like 6'5? And Harris is 6'3? :dunno:

    EDIT: Wall's listed at 6'4 on the Fox Sports website.

    Maybe LeBron doesn't want to play with a rookie PG. Or maybe he does. I'm just saying that you take him no matter what, and then trade him for value if you need to (i.e., LeBron says so. :) )

    This summer he was measured at a tad over 6'1" in his barefeet in Portland (team USA)

    Size wise, he's Rondo.

    Wall is crazy athletic but I think its a little early to say he's "easily" better than Derrick Rose as a freshman...Look what Rose did in the playoffs last year. 19 6 6 on 50% shooting. He turned the ball over a lot but he was playing against the Celtics...I'm really excited to see Wall in the NBA next year...I think he is more OJ Mayo than DRose though.

    What Rose did in the playoffs last year has nothing to do with his game and development back in Memphis.
