Player Spotlight: John Wall

John Wall was Kentucky's saving grace. He took the Kentucky Wildcats to the elite eight and put the nation in a Wall crazy mood come March. He averaged 17 points and 6.5 assists per game as a freshman(stats thanks to NBAdraft.net). He did have help along the way via DeMarcus Cousins, Pattrick Patterson, Eric Bledsoe, and Daniel Orton. Wall still was the leader as only a freshman. The awards that he won were astounding. In one year he won:
