		<description>Top-notch strength? Huh? Has this author seen John Wall play? As a high school player Rose was already much physically stronger, and at the NBA level he can pretty much get to the rim without any problems. Not the case with Wall. Wall has excellent athleticism and quickness, but he really doesn&#039;t seem strong enough to finish in the paint. During Saturday&#039;s game against Vanderbilt I don&#039;t think he had a single lay-up or dunk and was pretty much forced to shoot from the perimeter, which he doesn&#039;t do well enough to live out there. If college defenses do such a good job keeping him out of the paint, can you imagine what it will be like in the NBA? That said, I love Wall&#039;s court vision and his passing ability is very impressive. Still, teams should not be expecting him to be an immediate savior unless they are willing to surround him with some pretty good players. The only teams that really have a shot at Wall are New Jersey and Minnesota (who will have to ditch one or two of there 50 PGs if they get Wall), and in both places he&#039;d be playing with supporting casts that are at least 3 good players away from even dreaming of playoff contention. Sure, NJ has cap space, but it&#039;s a pretty hard sell to any quality free agent after the type of season they&#039;ve had.</description>

		<description>@d,

Jay &quot;don&#039;t call me Jayson&quot; Williams played 1 year in the league for my hometown team.  He avg like 9pts and 5 asst while shooting terrible from the field.  He was turnover prone.  He was basically a non-factor every game.  It wasn&#039;t like in college where he was quicker, stronger, faster, than everybody.  The NBA had guards bigger, stronger, faster than him and he didn&#039;t know how to respond.  He would have eventually been a 15-18ppg with 5apg player, but those would have been his best years.  His style of play was no condusive to winning.  If the offense wasn&#039;t based around him doing what he wanted to, then he became ineffective.  He didn&#039;t have the passing skills or defense either.  and as a #2 pick, that would equal him to a bust even if he didn&#039;t wrap his bike around a tree while coming from the gay club.</description>

		<description>@ctkennedy,

Good point about Turner not having the ball in his hands.  A good coach would allow him to do what he wants with the ball the same way Tyreke Evans is allowed freedom with the ball.  If not, then Turner will have to learn on the go.  

You lost me on the the Demarcus Cousins thing thought.  No way dude ever sniffs the all-star ballot.  He is a Sheldon Williams clone.  At best he&#039;d be Kendrick Perkins (Pre-KG, and pre-refs allowing him to hack).  Cousins can not bang with guys his size, and in the NBA there is a new crop of centers who would destroy him.  Marc/Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum, Dwight, Kaman, Bogut, Horford, Yao, Jason Thompson, David Lee, Brook Lopez..he has no chance basically.</description>
