Wall impresses Baylor coach

Baylor was among the finalists for John Wall during the recruiting process last spring.
With Baylor at the same first- and second-round site as Kentucky, this led a reporter to ask Baylor Coach Scott Drew if he was surprised by Wall’s success.
“He’s definitely had a tremendous year,” Drew said. “Any time you’re being considered as (among the) top two players for Player of the Year, it says you’re doing something all right.
“But there is no doubt in our mind when we were recruiting him he was going to be a successful player from the standpoint a lot of people have talent, but he had the mental makeup necessary to be successful, as well. Extremely driven. Very competitive. Very serious about the game. He plays so hard.”
