Cowboy Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I haven't really studied the draft and I guess I'm a sucker for size but how about Cousins-Aldridge-Hanongody somebody from Europe and Willie Reed. -nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billiken_roy Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I'm not saying I would take five players before him, but I would take Evan Turner over him. turner is the only guy in the same ball park potentialwise imo. but even then isnt turner a junior? i cant even imagine how good wall might be as a junior.

bsheldon Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I haven't really studied the draft and I guess I'm a sucker for size but how about Cousins-Aldridge-Hanongody somebody from Europe and Willie Reed. Let's not get out of hand w/ WR. He is talented for sure and a very goot big man to build a program around, but he not ready for the show quite yet--he needs at least 2 more years of development, weight room, and time at the table to even be considered for the big time. That is a whole other level of size, strength and talent. WR is not on the level of those in discussion here. Again, I really like Willie and am one of his biggest fans, but lets be a bit realistic here, at least for another year or two--fingers crossed.

I wish we'd get to find out. And I think he'll go number one; I just don't think he's a LeBron or Wade type instant impact guy. We'll see. Safe to say that his one year at Kentucky will probably be erased from the record books, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsheldon Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Willie was a joke. Fair enough. There were some NBA prospect talk on here early in the seson. Hence, the reason for my reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point about Jennings. He was one I (like most) had not anticipated would be as good as he has been. Wall also does seem to have "it," even if he doesn't have the ideal size. But I still don't think he's a guaranteed NBA star. I could see him getting stuck between the 1 and the 2 and ending up with a Marbury-like career. Maybe putting up some decent numbers, but never doing anything too spectacular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zink Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 While Calipari's PGs haven't had success that actually counted while playing for him, you can't argue with their ability to compete at the next level. Derrick Rose is a 6'3" PG (one inch less than Wall) who is a scorer but has added a passing component to his game, and won ROY. Tyreke Evans (6'6" PG) is even more of a tweener than Wall and is excelling as a PG in the NBA, and probably will win this season's ROY. Wall has been favorably compared to each of them, even by Coach Cal himself. Just saying, he's for real. And perimeter players are more likely to develop into contributors than post players because of the relative concerns about injuries. Time will tell...
