December 6, 200916 yr John Wall is the greatest point guard athlete ... ever In 25 years, if you are a fan of college basketball, you will be seeing highlights of the time Wall drove on a fast break, got himself too deep under the backboard, and solved that problem by gliding to the opposite side and scooping in a layup past Carolina's Marcus Ginyard. This will be a little different because Julius Erving's swoop past Mark Landsberger was in the NBA Finals, but Wall's play stirred echoes of Dr. J's brilliance. http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/34298963/ns/sports-college_basketball/#storyContinued
December 6, 200916 yr John Wall possesses a combination of rare athletic ability, basketball IQ, and unselfishness that I have not ever seen on the college level. He is: Long Quick Fast Smart Unselfish A good shooter Coachable A good teammate A pleasure to watch play A Godsend to the University of Kentucky, even if it is for just one year.
December 6, 200916 yr He is very, very special. I loved Wayne Turner, but John takes it all to a whole new level. Everytime he leads a fast break, I just wait and wonder what he will do with the ball. You know it's going to be something special.
December 6, 200916 yr The greatest PG athlete maybe...depends on how you slice it. The best ever, ABSOLUTELY NO, at least NOT YET!!! OK, he has some gifts, and some good performances but we are just 8 games into the season, it takes more than 8 games to become the best ever!!! However, if he leads UK to a National Championship he will get my vote.
December 6, 200916 yr He could go down as one of the best.. No he can't....he'd have to stay more than one year.
December 6, 200916 yr No he can't....he'd have to stay more than one year. I think the author was including his potential NBA career.
December 6, 200916 yr I think the word Athlete is the key word here. I think the author means he has more size, speed, athletism than any other point guard ever... I believe that Wall is one of the 3 fastest players I have ever seen with the ball in his hands...Jason Kidd was incredible...I can't name anyone else at this time...
December 6, 200916 yr No he can't....he'd have to stay more than one year. I disagree. Kevin Durant is the best NCAA player I ever saw play even if it was for only one year. Melo is up there as well.
December 6, 200916 yr No he can't....he'd have to stay more than one year. He wouldn't have to stay more than a season to be one of the best ever.
December 6, 200916 yr His potential to be the best ever including the NBA all depend on his health. He seems to have some serious knee issues for someone who is 18. Hopefully it will hold but as was said yesterday, that is troubling news for someone who is just 18.

The fastest I ever saw with the ball, also had a brief stay at the University of Kentucky. They didn't nickname Dwight Anderson the "Blur" for nothing.
