John Wall: Believe the Hype
Yes, John Wall gets a lot of hype. But at this point, can you argue that he doesn’t deserve it?
Wall has already hit a buzzer beating jumper to win one game, while stroking two free throws with 2.4 seconds in regulation to send another into overtime. And this is after only six appearances.
His numbers are even more ridiculous. While leading the team in minutes played at 36 per game, Wall is dropping 18.5 points, 8 assists, 4 rebounds, 2.5 steals and nearly a block an outing.
Doing this while shooting 56% from the field and 80% from the line is impressive. And while his 4 turnovers per game are cause for concern, keep in mind that Wall is doing the vast bulk of the ball handling for the Cats in every game and is still keeping an assist to turnover ratio of 2 to 1.
So what is his weakness? At this point, there really isn’t one. But if the Cats are going to win a championship this season, SEC or otherwise, we hope he’ll get his three point percentage up a bit. For the year he’s 4 for 14.
