Knockin on The Wall

I have decided to follow the progress of one cherished rookie following the most recent NBA draft. I have chosen John Wall unanimously, him being a fiesty and agil gaurd. As i have said in a previous post, he tends to reflect the game of a young kenny Anderson, who if you aren't familiar with, can learn about from my prior post. Now, as many know, when most college players hit the big leagues, they often train and diversify there game to live up to pro calibur in order to better compete with their opponents. In Wall, you can see he is doing a lot more spinning on the break as well as crossovers going left very often. I saw some of his performance in the Reebok summer championship and saw much of the pronound D Wayde's style and approach which I think will serve Wall and his team well. Through such means, in his lightning quick first step and reflexive motion off the dribble, he can get in position for the easy pull up jumper, go to the hoop, or dish. You can tell he knows how to get around any height advantage his apponents may have over him with his sound overall instincts. He will have to learn how to get open from the screens though and challenge, or rather answer back to double teaming from opponents.
