John Wall, PG, Washington Wizards
Forget about the turnovers and the ugly shooting mechanics. Wall showed everyone why he's on track to be a star in this league. He combines a real comfort with being the best player on the floor while always thinking about his teammates. He's going to impact the game immediately on both ends and is a strong candidate for ROY, because he'll have the ball in his hands all the time.
To read more of David Thorpe's observations from summer league, including notes on Dominique Jones, Patrick Patterson, Gani Lawal, Ed Davis, Solomon Alabi, Derrick Caracter, Devin Ebanks, Greg Monroe and Terrico White, you must be an ESPN Insider.
