DeMarcus Cousins is statistically better and probably more overwhelming. But nobody means as much to Kentucky‘s success as Wall, the electrifying point guard who hit a winner in his first game and has paced the Wildcats ever since. The 16.8 points and 6.2 assists per game only tell part of the story. To truly grasp Wall you must see the other things — the way he leads, his ability to make closing plays, his willingness to take tough shots in tough spots. CBSSports.com also named John Wall and Demarcus Cousins First Team All-Americans.
