One game into his college career, and John Wall is already looking like the #1 pick in next year’s draft. He had 19 points, five boards, and the game-winning bucket against Miami of Ohio. The Memphis Grizzlies have seen enough, and plan to immediately start tanking to improve their position in the draft lottery.
Kentucky has four future first-round picks, but Wall is the best of them. He’s old for a freshman - just turned 19 in September - but isn’t draft-eligible until next June.
