Washington Wizards number 1 overall pick PG John Wall has wasted no time carving up the NBA during his rookie season. He punctuated his early success with his first career triple-double last night against the Houston Rockets in only his 6th career game. Wall went for 19 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists to go along with 6 steals and becomes the 3rd youngest player in NBA history to record a triple-double. His performance also ranks 5th all time in fewest number of games needed for his first triple-double, 3 of the 4 players ahead of Wall on that list are in the NBA Hall of Fame including Oscar Robertson and Magic Johnson.
Wall burst onto the scene last year as a Freshman at the University of Kentucky where he lead the Wildcats to an SEC Championship and the school's best record in more than a decade before making it to the Elite 8 in the NCAA tournament. Within his first 10 games at Kentucky NBA teams began ogling at Wall's amazing combination of speed, athleticism and finesse and he became a shoe-in for the number 1 overall pick midway through his Freshman year. Wall is destined to be a star in the NBA and it looks like he is sparing no time in getting there.
Also, he must have graduated summa cum laude at Dougie school
