The Next great PG is........ | Crean n' Crimson's Blog

Ok. Lets see if I can make sense in not saying Brandon Jennings is the next great PG. But, alas, he's not.(HA) The next great PG is John Wall, who like Jennings has never played a college game either. God, you think this posting is dumb by now and want to post some smart comment below. Go ahead, but read the rest also while your at it. I remember watching Derrick Roses' team beat Brandon Jennings' team Oah Hill Academy,airing on national television: ESPN. That was Roses' senior year and Jennings' junior year. Mr. Rose dominated every aspect of the game. Passing to open players, taking it to the hole, playing "lockdown" defense on Jennings' and forcing many turnovers with one of them ending in a highlight reel breakaway contested dunk. Posterizing play after play made him a legend in chicago. And now maybe he might go back to the Windy City. Anyways. This all have to do with the way Jennings' played that game and developed after that game. He was undersized to the more developed Rose. He would sometimes slouch after a negative play. He still has added some size but, even then being one of the best players in HS including seniors. He somehow has lost some hype but is still flashy at times not being more dominant than Rose his senior year. Now you have a player like John Wall. He has great court awareness, speed, timing, passing, defenensive skills. This guy is multi-dimensional!! He has that freaky speed and smooth shot combined with that intuitive awareness only few players have at that age. Jennings' will go to Arizona which is coincidently called PG U. He will have a good career their considering Jerryd Bayless' career at this PG oriented offense. John Wall i hope will go to IU. But, I think that is wishful thinking. Where ever this guy gos he will be a great player.

I just read the first few sentences and decided to post a smart comment. Have you seen Jennings play? He is the best point guard since to come out of high school since Chris Paul. Now I'll read the rest of the blog...

I'll be honest with you. I follow the high school ranks somewhat, but I've never in my life heard of John Wall. What state is he from? Anyway, from what you've told me, he sounds like a real talent.
