[quote=NOHCP3]If the rule says that he has to be at least one year after graduation why would he have a case.
Edit: Didnt know about the mother being sick. Small chance they make an exception. But the fact hes 19 may not change anything really.[/quote]It can be spun that his normal high school class graduated the year before, making him eligible.
[QUOTE=twolvesfan]there wasnt any rules against HS ballers entering back then[/QUOTE]
It was a random fact that I just posted.
Both went to Christian Academies that allow a 5th year of HS for whatever reason.
Wow he looks awesome in those highlights. His game looks a lot like Jamal Crawford.
[QUOTE=NOHCP3] (b) A player shall be eligible for selection in the first NBA Draft with respect to which he has satisfied all applicable requirements of Section 1(b)(i) below and one of the requirements of Section 1(b)(ii) below:
(i) The player (A) is or will be at least 19 years of age during the calendar year in which the Draft is held, and (B) with respect to a player who is not an international player (defined below), at least one (1) NBA Season has elapsed since the player
[QUOTE=Interminator]I think its because he is doing an uneccesary 5th year,and he turns 19 in the calendar year.
That forbid him from playing in the McDonalds All American Game.[/QUOTE]

Ahh i see. Makes sense. But I still think the chances that the NBA making an exception are slim. The fact that is was his choice to do this 5th year may hurt his chances. Since last year was his "real senior" year did he play in the high school ASG'S?
Even if he enters, he won't be drafted over B.G. Do you have to make a dumb thread every year around this time?
[QUOTE=BingBongBrother]How he looks awesome in those highlights. His game looks a lot like Jamal Crawford.[/QUOTE]
He looks kinda like him also except Wall has more of a PG mentality.
The one thing about this case is that Wall won't set a floodgate of HS players doing this simply because you would have to go to a Christian Academy after having failed previously.
[quote=YAH trick YAH]Wall has a sick highlight tape

[QUOTE=pp38]I think the bold is where the ambiguity is arising. Wall didn't graduate, and would have/should have graduated in 08[/QUOTE]
Wall would have graduated last year if he were at a normal public/private HS.
Take Stern to court John.
I hope they let him.

Eat ****.
Didn't you learn from the 2008 NBA Draft you dip**** that 9/10 times a NBA GM will draft an elite PG prospect over an elite PF prospect.
Blake Griffin=6'8 PF w/great athleticism, and developing range.
John Wall=6'3 PG w/great athleticism,blazing speed,& great court vision.
Well technically if he is a grade 13 then he is one year removed from graduating highschool no? Because then IMO he should be able to enter.
[QUOTE=vert48]Jamaal Crawford did the same thing before he went to Michigan.[/QUOTE]
I might be wrong but didn't he enter the 1999 NBA Draft only to pull out at the last minute?

the HE WILL BE THE #1 PICK is your opinion, not the overwhelming opinion. he might not even be higher than Rubio. He'd be top 3 i think though definitely. But not over griffin, no chance in hell.
