Kentucky and the Freshman

Watching Kentucky play is just fun, all pressure- all of the time.
The freshmen that Calipari brought in are just ridiculous. This team is every bit as good as the Memphis team that missed free throws to lose the National Championship.

Freshman.
Wall 6'4 is 18ppg, 8 assist, 4 rebounds 2.5 steals. His weakness is shooting less than 30% from 3 but nobody in college can handle him in the open court.

Cousins at 6'11 is at 16ppg, 8rb, 2.6 blocks.

Bledsoe 6'1 10ppg, 50% 3pt,

Wall has won my respect, if there is a better Freshman than him in the last 5 years I haven't seen him play. He is much more diverse on offense than Rose and Beasley.
He is what OJ Mayo was supposed to be. He is a demon in the open court and frequently passes up a contested layup to hit a man on the outside for a 3pt shot.
His defense on the ball is also better than average and appears to have a wingspan around 6'8.

Throw in Patterson and we have an interesting matchup for everyone.
In March this will be a death march for some good teams.

I agree with you about Walls, I saw him in a all star gane 2 years ago and he was the best player on the court.
