17 straight losses, yikes.. I blame the trading of Evan Turner for this.

I see no way they won't have a worse record than the Bucks, the Bucks won again last night. :x

Still no way they win 20 games. 8)

I think we can officially call this thread and prediction a disaster.

Wall is way better than Turner right now.

Wall is getting better.

Turner is not.

I think Turner could improve slightly but I don't think he will have a big leap that we typically see from top picks over the course of their rookie contracts. I'm fairly confident he will never be an All Star and that his ceiling is a solid starter. His best chance to make a real impact is to focus as much on defense as possible because he does have All Defensive team potential if he works hard on that end but I just don't see anything from him that leads me to believe he will be better than Wall all around. If Wall was paired with Adelman or Carlisle I think this discussion would look very silly very quickly. But even if he never reaches his potential it would take an Arenas-esque fall from grace for Turner to end up as the better pro. Unlike Arenas though, Wall is a willing, gifted passer. That combined with his athleticism(Rose's level), and it's hard seeing him not getting better.
So do you think that Wall will be an All-Star and when will it happen? He seems very far away from that right now.

It's gonna be tough in the East. We all know about Rose and I'm pretty much Rondo's biggest fan here. I think he will make multiple All Star appearances in his career and I'd say 2013-2014 will be his first one if I was forced to pick when but it's very dependent on their next coach and then obviously his work ethic.

John Wall made the All Star team this year, for the first time.

Not a better pro than John Wall, but outplaying D.Rose tonight by far.

It will ultimately be viewed as a mistake that a team passed on Evan Turner for John Wall.

Here are my reasons:
1) I don't trust Wall off the court. He was on good behavior in his year at Kentucky but he did have some past problems including an alleged breaking and entering incident.
2) Evan Turner is going to get even better. He's a different type of player than Dwayne Wade but he reminds me a lot of him in terms of his career arc. Turner got significantly better throughout college. He was the 50th ranked player coming into college. He was arguably the best player in the whole country last year.
3) Wall may be a great player but I'd be concerned that he'd be a great individual talent similar to Iverson but ultimately not the kind of player that wins titles.
4) I think Wall came in with the hype of being the next great Calipari guard but I'd call his one year in college a little bit hollow. They dominated a weak conference where most of the games were played against overmatched teams. His team also had three other first round picks and yet they didn't even make the final four? That's not all on Wall but I think his talent advantage needs to be taken into consideration.

I'd also avoid Cousins for off the court reasons too.

For a sleeper pick, I'd go with Devin Ebanks. I don't know if he's a star but I think he's got a lot of talent and will fit in well in the NBA. Add Xavier Henry into the list too.

For a late second round pick role player, Luke Harangody is a decent pick. He'll be a poor man's Glen Davis, which is pretty poor but better than most drafted late.



You could've been a contender! This is bad really bad

Evan Turner was never a threat to be a better pro than John Wall.

I vaguely remember this thread. At the time I really hadn't declared war thus it was not necessary to comment. I was not a big Wall fan either. I thought Cousins would be the best player from this particular draft. I don't know if I would have said that Turner would be the better player though. His game really didn't translate well to the NBA. Its not that Wall has turned out to be better its just that Turner has turned out to be a whole lot worse. Turner is a journeyman guy at this stage of his career.

Not guess that guy again. I have only ever used one name. I just post with far more frequency these days. I guess I really don't have much going on.

Drafted John Wall with the 4th overall pick in the first round of my fantasy draft this year.
