ESPN.com has honored freshman point guard John Wall and Kentucky in this week’s Weekly Watch.

Wall just missed out on being tabbed National Player of the Week, making ESPN’s “The Rest of the Rotation.” Wall scored 24 points in Saturday’s win over Tennessee. Here’s what ESPN had to say:

John Wall, Fr., G, Kentucky: Wall was sensational in the win over Tennessee on Saturday night with 24 points, making 9 of 12 free throws, 7 of 15 shots and controlling the tempo for the Wildcats. He started the week with 22 points and 10 boards in a home win over Alabama. Wall continues to lock himself into All-American status in his chase to stay with Ohio State’s Evan Turner in the player of the year race.

So much for that midseason slump he was going through.

ESPN also named Kentucky one of its “Five Golden Teams” after wins over Alabama and Tennessee:

Kentucky: The Wildcats blew past Tennessee late and are headed toward an SEC title and a No. 1 seed. DeMarcus Cousins and John Wall are easily two of the best in the country at their respective positions. All is good in the Commonwealth.
