We’ll likely be asking that question above all season. If Friday night’s exhibition game against Clarion is any indication of what the season holds, then the answer is likely yes.

ESPN Insider Chad Ford, who covers the NBA Draft and is a frequent contributor to ESPN the Magazine, tends to think so too. Ford projects Wall, UK’s freshman phenom at point guard, as the No. 1 choice in his post on top-pick potential.

Ford writes: “Wall isn’t super-athletic – he’s extra-terrestrially athletic. He’s been compared to Derrick Rose and truthfully, he’s even more explosive. While Wall doesn’t have Rose’s steadiness on or off the court, when you turn him loose he’s virtually impossible to guard. Wall has the inside track on the No. 1 pick right now. Point guards with his physical abilities come along only two or three times a decade.”

That performance against Clarion was certainly extraterrestrial for a freshman. It’s hard for a recruit as celebrated as Wall to meet expectations, but he did just that in his debut.

Whether that holds up for the rest of the season and whether Wall makes the jump after this year, we’ll just have to wait and see. But Wall might not be the only one to bolt from UK, Ford writes. Ford has a couple of other UK players in his post that he says could be one-and-done.
