    so the secret is to tank but dont tank all the way .... You want to have like the 3rd or 2nd worst record in the league since the worst team never ever wins the lotto

    Kyrie Irving is supposedly a better point guard prospect. John Wall is a big scoring point guard with vision. Irving is a regular sized point guard with incredible point guard talent (ie Nash, Paul)

    I'm sure you would pick AB over Wall if you were a GM.

    Stop being so delusional. AB can't hold Wall's jockstrap.

    Guy is averaging, 19, 4, 10, and 3 steals at barely 20.

    had no idea he was THAT good. i hate jumping on the bandwagons and i always hope the national media is wrong, but this kind is ridiculous, he moves at 100mph and delivers pretty accurate and catchable passes, he can shoot and finish above the rim and he has impeccable body control which allows him to avoid charges when he leaves the floor.

    Actually it worked out well for the Nets. Favors shows immense upside, and based on the games i have seen, his basketball I.Q is very high. And he is very fluid & creative when he is attempting shots around the basket.

    He is averaging 8.8 points 52..9 fg% and 7.3 rebounds per game in 21 minutes of play which is respectable. :)

    Reminds me of LeBron when he came into the league. Athletic freak.

    Makes this year's ROY chase that much more exciting.

    I have a feeling this could be a tie, co-rookie of the year awards are likely with these two guys.

    The sad part is they will dominate the top 2 spot in the rookie ladder for the rest of the season. Ish Smith being there is a tease. Griffin and Wall are light years ahead of any player in third place in the rookie ranking.

    Not anymore than he already did last night. And the Rockets would've won with AB bc we would've had less turnovers and more 4th quarter scoring. All the AB haters on here are ridiculous, he is our best effing player... :rolleyes:

    Tell me about it. I've watched a few of Wall's early games and he's much better than I expected this early. His jumper is VERY inconsistent but you can see where he will likely iron the bumps out in a year or two.

    The amount of confidence he plays with (considering how new the season is) amazes me sometimes. If Wall keeps his head on straight and continues to work hard, he will be another superstar to help carry the league.

    Lebron picked Wall and Kobe picked Turner.
    So now, who do you think will be a better player, Wall or Turner, Lakers Fans boy?

    I dont think they'd even do it even if Yao was healthy and avaraging 25 and 10.

    Kyrie is good, but he's no John Wall.
