    People barely talk about Blake these days but given that he'll of had a whole year to recover, and he's got a young, strong body, I think he'll come back extremely hungry and very strong.

    Who will have the better rookie season, Blake or Wall? I think Griffin will because he has an NBA ready skill-set where as Wall is a PG so it might take a bit to adjust depending on what team he lands on.

    Blake should, but he's on the Clippers and therefore cursed.

    I'm going with Wall ... He'll be one of the most athletic and gifted PG in the league right of the bat, Once he gets it going I'll bet he'll have a bigger Impact than Griffin, who will have to get over the mental hurdle of trusting his knee again!

    I don't know,but I sure want to see Blake Griffin fit and healthy for the entire season. I'm looking forward to see Wall play too.

    If he is then he'll suffer some bad luck and neither of them might have a good rookie season. :p

    Wall appears to be Derrick Rose in a smaller body....Probably a cross between Jennings and Rose. There's no going wrong with that combination. I think they'll both do great in the league next year, Wall is far to athletic not make some kind of a splash especially if his team gives him the ball a la tyreke evans & Brandon jennings.

    Wall, simply because he's a guard and can stat pad like crazy unless he comes to Houston, in which case he'll just be awesome. :) I think even if Griffin fully recovers, I see him being more of a 13/8 garbage man. He'll never get the ball on that team.

    Wall is bigger than Rose and considered on par or better physical specimen. Rose has more polish over him though.

    My bad, he just seemed smaller than Rose for some reason. he definitely hasn't filled out his frame yet because Rose definitely seems more muscular and most likely has Wall beat in the strength department.

    If his wingspan in 6'10 he's going to great in the NBA haha as long as he can commit himself on the defensive end of the court.

    I'm actually surprised myself, John Wall does seem a lot smaller.

    Wow, that team would be stacked with young talent... Wall/ Gordon/Griffin/Kaman/Jordan and Rudy Gay?
