Mini Bio:

 John Wall was born in Raleigh, NC on September 6th, 1990. A basketball phenomenon starting in his middle school years, Wall led his high school squad to the state championship in 2008 and was a projected top 5 pick in the 2009 draft before being declared ineligible due to age and college entrance requirements. Moreover, Wall was involved in an altercation and attempted robbery and, though he avoided jail time, questions arose about his maturity level. As a result, Wall opted to play for John Calipari and the Kentucky Wildcats. Wall led the 2009 - 2010 UK Wildcat team to the most dramatic turnaround in NCAA history and in recognition of his achievements Wall was recognized as the 2010 SEC Basketball Player of the Year and a first team All American. However, despite the team’s glittering regular season record, the Wildcats were upset in the NCAA tournament Elite Eight. Ultimately, John Wall’s career has barely begun. His future greatness, or potential for greatness, still beckons in the future. However, his incredible one year career at Kentucky suggests that the young Wizards point guard is destined for great things….and we will certainly all be watching. There's no doubt that John Wall is one of the greats of the many greats in Kentucky Basketball History.
