John Wall is eligible for this year's NBA draft?

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Say the Thunder get the 3rd pick.

Thabeet and Griffin are off the board.

DO they go Rubio, Harden, or Wall?

A backcourt of Wall and Russy would be

athletically, but neither are great shooters and they are virtually the same height. They could essentiallyshare PG duties but I would think that Wall would eventually get the lions share. (A fast break w/ KD & Russ on the wing w/ Green filling in behind them

)

Rubio coming in moves Russy to the 2. Frees him up a bit more to attack. He could play like and Andre Iguoudala (sp?) role possibly.

Harden would be a really good fit, provided that the Thunder are set in Russy being their PG of the future. You get your scorer/shooter who can also facilitatethe O if necessary.

Who would be the best fit IYO?

I'd have to think it would be Wall or Rubio.

They got Westbrook, Weaver, Sefolosa and even Livingston to swing at the SG, so no need for Harden with Wall or Rubio on the board.

Nuh uh... Blake Griffin is going #1 in this draft regardless of who wins the Lottery... Whether they trade out and take someone else is a wholeother topic, but taking anybody but Blake Griffin in that top spot, even if Wall declares, is bad business...

You don't pass on clearly the best talent in the draft without getting some type of compensation for doing so, especially when it's overall thisweak...

And Dre, I see the point about what a team needs... But even still, it's hard to argue he ain't gonna be one of the three best talents in thedraft whenever he declares... Sure, he may slip a spot or two because of team needs, but are Hasheem Thabeet or James Harden more talented or have higherupsides? Frankly, I see very, very little upside potential with Harden... He is what he is... And Thabeet ain't ever gonna be a scoring big man, so thatlimits his upside as well...

 

[run dlc]

Wall > Rose

 

[SneakerProSr.]

Anybody saying that dude should college if he's a guaranteed top 5 pick and can declare is absolutely ******ed.

Dude could be a bum and be exposed if he went to college plus there is also the injury risk.

If and that's a big if dude is really a hands down top 5 pick now then he should definitely declare.

Oh no doubt, I never said that he wasn't going top 3.

Just that it isn't 1000000% sure that he goes top 3.

 

[jamesonnt]

^ negative.

edit: postblocked.

Wall > Rose

 

[jamesonnt]

Let's just say he's top 5 this year or next year .. k?

 

[f3djam]

John Wall is better than Rubio. I just aint feeling the kid, I dont think Rubio will do good in the NBA

 

[usabasketball08]

Call me crazy but am i the only one that thinks Flynn is better than Rubio?

 

[blazinjkid]

I find it really hard to believe that nobody within Wall's camp has even discussed his NBA eligibility. Top 5 money on the table and you don't evendiscuss it? I'm calling shenanigans.

And would y'all really take Harden over Wall? I can't see that at all.

I dont even like the kid that much cuz of his attitude but hes a lock top 3 pick in any draft simply because of his physical tools and natural ability. His length, size and athleticism are VERY rare for a pg.

Harden over wall? HAHAHAHAH....... also for thabeet.

The only justifiable choices would be Griffin and Rubio

Yeah seriously bro. Though I think he will go over Rubio - John Wall's potential is unlimited, Rubio has some limits as there are question marks with hislack of quickness and ability to defend nba guards.

 

[uter zorker]

Harden will be the 2nd best player to come out, maybe even better than Griffen if he develops effort

 

[al3xis]

he'd be a project outa HS to the NBA.

 

[jdcurt2]

NOOOOOO He needs to come to UK

 

[jthagreat]

never heard of him. will read later.

 

[bangdak]

not a college fan, but i rather have a skilled point guard over a big man.
im just saying...

 

[dl2352]

Why is everyone bringing up Harden? I can't wait to see this variant John Salmons play underwhelming basketball in the league.

 

[cj003]

no disrespect to homie...but you talking about him taking business classes to learn how to manage his money.....HE FAILED THE 10TH GRADE. you really thinkhe's gonna do anything besides take easy classes and get a 2.0 gpa?
