2010 NBA Draft Ratings: John Wall

The worst kept secret in this year's draft is that the Wizards will be drafting Wall #1. The real question is whether Wall will play a game alongside Gilbert Arenas or not.

Wall is a great athlete with a tremendous wingspan and is expected to revolutionize the PG position. He isn't as quick as Derrick Rose, but he's bigger, longer, and expected to be a much better defender at the NBA level.

I do not have Wall ranked as the rated prospect in this draft, as he is a bit raw (below average perimeter game). However, he does have the highest potential rating, as he easily has the highest ceiling of any player in this draft. A few years from now, we could have a more athletic Deron Williams on our hands.

98 in quickness and 94 in speed is too much from my point of view - more realistic would be around 95 quickness and 91 speed!!

John Wall Three Point Stats Vs Andre Igoudola.

32.5% > 31.0%

Yet you have John Wall rated lower. LRN TO NBA.

College 3pt line =/= NBA 3pt line.

Nice try.

Goot catch with Wall's speed/quickness as I actually mixed his agility and sprint grades (via draftexpress) up with Derrick Rose.

Wall Agility: 10.84 - a shade better than Deron Williams 10.83 and nowhere close to Tyreke's 11.81 and Rose's 11.69. Jay Williams 10.34 had the worst grade among PGs drafted in the top 15 over the last decade. Wall ranks 18th of 25 in this regard.

Wall Sprint: 3.14 - that ties him with O.J. Mayo for 11th out of 25. Rose is 1st with 3.05 while Stephen Curry and Luke Ridnour are last with 3.28

So actually, Wall should have higher speed than quickness... I'll make some adjustments.

Michael Redd shot like 25% in the Olympics. Andre also shot 33% in college.

Therefore increase his 3 point ability please.

^ This is why we love you Rashidi. Attention to detail.

Turns out I've been misreading Draft Express's "Agility". The LOWER scores are better.

Wall isn't 18th of 25. He's 8th of 25. Big difference. So once again, I'll be making some changes.

He's a righty.
