John Wall or Derrick Rose Who will be the Better Player?

[Batman]

I saw this in the HS thread. I was surprised at the amount of people who said Wall will be better thoughts? Just how good is John Wall? His Celing? Same with Rose.

one is in the nba, one has never played higher than highschool. How is anybody supposed to know

Wall looks amazing when he's going up against unathletic high school players. Let's wait until we see how his game translates in the NBA before we make comparisons.

I hate taking the easy way out and saying we won't know until he plays in college or the NBA, but I really think that is the case with high schoolers. Like, Brandon Jennings didn't look that much better than Wall at this point, and he could easily not even be drafted in the top ten. He's looked good from what I've seen, but all I've seen are highlight clips, so I have no idea how he'll do.

too early to tell.

Good players who go to those religious schools should get hype-points automatically deducted. Let's face it, the competition isn't exactly great. And judging by the videos, he looks like some cocky kid that will think he's too good for college and pull a Brandon Jennings, only to fail miserably.

I'm going to with the safer choice at the moment and say Derrick Rose, John Wall hasn't even played college ball yet. There's really no way of telling tho.

He is going to college and never had plans to test the NBA rules making himself eligible for this draft (2009). So you're misinformed and ignorant to John Wall. You could look at videos and say "Rose is a cocky sommabish" only to feel a bit silly when you actually hear him speak to the media.

Meh, I have enough trouble tracking nba prospects from college, let alone high school kids going to college.

I will agree he does have to mature a bit. He wont be able to taunt kids in college who arent inferior to his talents. So he'll be humbled when he faces some real competition.

I'm tired of these short 6'2"-6"3" PG/SG hybrids like Rose, Mayo and the aforementioned John Wall. When are we going to start seeing some star quality pure shooting guards with height and a perimeter game like Kobe, TMac and Reggie Miller?

We got them you're just not paying much attention. Open your eyes

Who Manu, Joe Johnson, Kevin Martin? Meh... They are not the superstar level SGs I am talking about. Dwayne Wade started out as the same PG/SG hybrid when he first hit the NBA too because of his height and poor perimeter shooting. Brandon Roy is the only star level pure SG out there that can even begin to fill the shoes of the bigger SGs like Kobe, TMac and Reggie Miller.

obviously too earlier to say but i wouldnt bet against that John Wall kid - his highlights are absurrd.
