There is a growing margin between Turner and Wall with Turner leading the field. In many discussions KY fans are listing Cousins as Freshman of the year over Wall. If that is the case, then how can he be player of the Year? I believe the hype has died down and reality is setting in. No matter how much Calipari shields Wall, his lack of overall depth as a player is being found out. He is a startling playmaker, but still has room for improvement as a point guard. He is fast, but it takes more than speed and dunking to win games. Had Cousins and Patterson not been on the court those "clutch plays" would have been nothing more than highlights, because they did not win the game. All the work during the rest of the time did. I watched the Vanderbilt game. Wall was only in the frame for the last 5 minutes of the game. Look at his stats and see his production. It was low, so I am wondering. If he is so explosive, and so fast, and such a great scorer, and has such a great cast around him- Why is he not leading his team, let alone the nation in scoring. He is the point, he isn't even leading in assists. Bottom line, meeting expectation isn't enough to win player of the year or Number 1 draft pick. ONLY ONE PLAYER has surpassed all expectation and that is Evan Turner and he has all the upside in the world. He has the most complete game in the NCAA and he has just begun to refine his game. Time will tell, but I bet that Turner will have a stellar NBA career if given a fair chance. I will leave the tourneys to make a case for who is the Player of the Year.
