You can usually find scattered seats in Cox Pavilion during the summer league -- but not for Washington's first three games. John Wall not only excited fans; he filled the VIP sections as well. "It's not just that he's the No. 1 pick," said one NBA head coach. "He's also what every coach and general manager wants with the way the game is being played." Wall led the summer league in points (23.5) and assists (7.8 ) per game, and added four rebounds and 2.5 steals to those averages.The superlatives and comps were flowing freely: Derrick Rose with defense and charisma. Chris Paul with better size. Rajon Rondo with more upside on his jump shot. One of the privileges of the summer league is the opportunity to observe a top prospect in a meaningful context.After months of discussion about wingspan, upside, motor and potential, we finally have the chance to watch the player in a game situation. Seeing Wall run the pick-and-roll with JaVale McGee was a revelation for skeptics and reassurance for the true believers.
