oh what a badass... this punisher was the number one overall hs prospect, just like kg, kobe, tmac, kwame, etc. this guy is such a beast...he was played out of position in college (he's not a power forward, i don't care what you say) so scratch that...and he doesn't have a jumper, but that can be worked on (look at the nbadraft.net profile link i'm giving out for stuff on his work ethic) i'm serious this guy was a high school all american, player of the year, and haha sports illustrated did an article on him mentioning his athleticism. bar none, the top athlete of this draft...jefferson and richardson have killer ups, and trepagnier does as well (as evident by him winning the pac 10 high jump championship), but none of them can hold wallace's 49 inch vert. hell yeah that's insane. straight from sports illustrated. he is so athletic and quick, i say he will lock down kobe...he's just as quick but he's longer and is more explosive plus he can jump higher. if sac town keeps cwebb they've got him, wallace, and now bibby to build around not to mention stojakovic and turkoglu...not bad. but i'm saying wallace was a top 5 pick if he went out last year, easily over miles haha yeah i mean it's not like he lost any inches of his vert, or any of his quickness/athleticism so i mean i still say you take him and watch him dominate. some links to illustrate what a punisher this guy is http://www.sportingnews.com/nba/draft/players/gerald_wallace.html http://www.nbadraft.net/profiles/geraldwallace.htm http://www.clutchcity.net/draft_profile.cfm?Player=38 oh, and by the way...even after that year of college, he is still younger than kwame brown...not even 19 yet. he's still 18! LOL oh what a dominator [This message has been edited by jamsey (edited June 28, 2001).]
