ESPN columnist and commentator Dick Vitale has named UK's John Wall as his pick for the college basketball player of the year.

Vitale, in naming his "All Solid Gold First Team", also named UK center DeMarcus Cousins to the team.

Vitale said about Wall that, "You can make a case for several players, but my choice is John Wall of Kentucky. He has made his teammates much better as a leader of the tough Wildcats. I love the fact he wants the ball in crunch time, and Wall has made so many big plays this season. He is also my Diaper Dandy of the Year!"
