The NBA Draft is only a few days away and online sportsbook handicappers assume the Washington Wizards to take Kentucky point guard John Wall with the leading pick. The Washington Wizards won the right to pick what some have called the most talked about prospect since LeBron James by winning the NBA lottery and first pick in the draft.
Wall is the clear celebrity of the NBA Draft and he may instantly affect vs NBA sports book online probabilities and NBA bets next season. If the Washington Wizards choose anybody but Wall, they not only might have problems selling tickets next year, they may wind up getting refund demands from the 400 new season ticket holders they were said to have obtained only hours after winning the lottery.
John Wall, 19, came into the draft after a freshman year at the University of Kentucky where he averaged 16.6 points, 6.5 assists and 4.3 rebounds each game. He has already set a few records at the University of Kentucky, such as most assists in a season, most assists in a match, and most points in a season.
Wall worked out for the Washington Wizards on Thursday and it seems like the team has already decided they will take him. Present to view the workout were general manager Ernie Grunfeld and new team owner Ted Leonsis. Wall worked out for head coach Flip Saunders. The workout of Wall was a single workout which truly points all the more to the Washington Wizards taking Wall first in total.
Wall hasn’t worked out for any other NBA team and has no plans at the moment to do so. Evan Turner, who was considered to be another possibility to go number 1, hasn’t worked out for the Washington Wizards. Occasionally in the NBA Draft a team might think about trading the number 1 pick but that is not going to occur this year. Wall is a potential superstar player and the Washington Wizards have no plans on trading the pick. Leonsis who is the new owner also means to rebuild the Washington Wizards through the draft so trading the pick makes no sense. Leonsis owns the Washington Capitals and he has used a similar approach with them.
Since 1996 there have been only 2 point guards to be taken with the number 1 pick in the NBA Draft. Those 2 players are Allen Iverson and Derrick Rose. If Wall is chosen number 1 as expected he would be in the same backcourt alongside of Gilbert Arenas. That pairing would give the Washington Wizards what may be a excellent backcourt combination.
Last season, not much went right for the Washington Wizards. They had to deal with the Arenas mess and his suspension and things went downhill from there. The team won only 26 games in total and they were not a lot better vs the spread going 35-45-2. They do have some young expertise though with Andray Blatche and Randy Foye. If Arenas returns as expected, the Washington Wizards may have some nice scoring choices additionally to Wall.
The NBA Draft is timetabled for Thursday, June 24th from Madison Square Garden in New York and begins at 7 pm Eastern time.
