After scoring 19 and dishing out six assist, Knicks Coach Mike D'Antoni believes the John Wall will be unstoppable if he becomes a shooter.

"Probably one of the fastest, most physically gifted players that we'll have in the league. I hope he never learns to shoot real well, because then, he would be unguardable."

NBA scouts are smart. Their game plan for today will be to make Wall beat you from the outside.

As far as Wall's goals, he hasn't changed. Team first, me second.

"To be honest, I'll take playoffs first and then rookie of the year second," the former UK star told the Washington Post.

"That's the type of person I am. Rookie of the year would be great, as an individual goal, but like I told you, if I can better individually and worry about individual goals for this team, it's not going to help the organization get back to where it wants to be, and that's hopefully a playoff contender and before I end my career, a championship contender. The main thing is focusing on the team and worrying about myself second."

It's nice to see that with all the money, Wall's head remains as grounded as it was when he played for Cal.

Cousins update: Cousins is averaging 16.4 points and 9.6 rebounds for the Kings.
