John Gasaway of Basketball Prospectus on John Wall
I would suppose that most people think of Basketball Prospectus as a fairly analytical and level-headed neck of the online woods. Most people would be wrong! We can swoon like giddy adolescents with the best of them. If you don’t believe me, you weren’t tracking the Twitter feed of my Prospectus colleague Kevin Pelton during Kentucky’s 68-66 win over North Carolina in Lexington on Saturday: "Watching John Wall is turning me into Dick Vitale. I’m gushing. ‘Look at the vision! Are you kidding me?!?!’"
You must read this. Great article by a great author.

Pretty Much Right On
In his comments and perception. At the risk of larruping a deceased equine I would aver that the only reason Patrick Patterson has been (and is) overshadowed is because he permits it. Sure wish he’d be more assertive — even to the point of selfishness.

But part of his charm ...
… is that he doesn’t need to be selfish, and doesn’t want to be. He does more than enough. I just wish our players would look for him more.

I really hope to see PPat shine as he is capable
He is what someone called a quiet good. I would like him to be a bit louder, definitely. :-)
Blue... there is no other color to Bleed !!!
