yea

at least on one side, it featured at one point a goldenstate esque 3 pg lineup with wall rondo and bledsoe…

for people like juiceboxjerry, it was noted how wall played pretty terribly (by bullets forever posters) without the ball in his hand. This is pretty interesting because derrick rose is actually (For a guy who has pretty much been the pg for his entire basketball career) plays real well without the ball.

Also another general note i garnered from bullets forever was how rondo, even in this atmosphere, refused to shoot the ball when he had wide open buckets, passing out of some sure fire layups to pass behind him to a cutter. Also, apparently wall and rondo had trouble playing with one another (not chemistry, but more like when one had the ball the other would just float somewhere until the posession was over….probably cuz both are used to having hte ball and dont know how to play without it)

I dont care what the D.N.A. Says, the Guy wearing number 12 Cannot be Kirk Hinrich, he is definetly Kurt. Kirk can actually play basketball!

They're both pass-first guys, and even though we all know Wall is a better scorer than Rondo, he will never score more than 20 a game IMO.

Also

probably because neither can shoot, I guess Rondo would go hide in the corner praying nobody passes him the ball to shoot

i dont know man

i see him as a 21 pt per game scorer…maybe not next year (but i wouldnt be too surprised) but in a few years certainly, and i certainly think he can be a higher scorer. Wall is just too athletic to not be a scorer. Hes going to be one of those guards who can essentially get to the line a bajillion times a game because he is an uber athlete….hmm let me put it this way….john wall doesnt have the same body control as rose, but very similar athleticism. So he can take to the air like rose, and may not be able to finish the same way, but when he gets hit it will be more noticeable.

Then you consider him adding a jumpshot this offseason, which may not be at the same level as roses shot (lets not forget that rose in his sophmore year made a huge jump in his ability to shoot, to the point where i considered that he might be better than deng at the midrange jumpshot) but enough so that he could probably get 10 points from jumpshots alone, then you add in how many times he will get to the line or just finish layups, its not hard to see a +20 pt scorer.

I dont care what the D.N.A. Says, the Guy wearing number 12 Cannot be Kirk Hinrich, he is definetly Kurt. Kirk can actually play basketball!
