Kentucky is Legit
I had watched clips of John Wall play a basketball game and was impressed with his skills but nothing compared to watching the guy play an actual game. I’m a believer in this kid being the most talented player in the nation.
North Carolina was done on Saturday until Wall came out with an injury. He was obviously the best player on the court and it wasn’t close and both teams are loaded with potential pros. That’s when it really hits you about how good the kid is. In the first half he had a dunk with some people on him that surprised me and got my attention. He hit jump shots and truly controlled the tempo of the game in Kentucy’s favor.
Going into the game I wanted Carolina to beat Kentucky but watching Wall made me such a fan of his that he just wanted to watch that kid play and do well. He has a very high ceiling and is better than Derrick Rose was at the same point in their careers. Wall will come out this year and be a top 3 pick in the draft and he’ll be an all star very soon. He’ll be a lock down defender with his long arms and athletic ability and be a better passer and shooter than Rose ever will. Did I mention I love Derrick Rose also? That’s just how good John Wall is going to be. He showed a love of basketball and a willingness to pass and trust his teammates and I see him as an All-American this season.
As the season progresses and Wall grows and improves you won’t want to play Kentucky because they are young and getting more confident each game. Look out because Kentucky is legit.
