John Wall announces this morning that he will remain in the NBA Draft and is in the process of selecting and agent.
Here are some notes I took during the press conference:
[B]- Wall will enter the NBA Draft; still deciding on his agent[/B]
– “I will come back and get my degree”
– Says Kentucky is a great school for basketball and also academics
– Wall is ready for any challenge the NBA has for him
– “I’m finishing out my school year.”
– Wall will take final exams and come back in the summers to finish up his degree
– “If I get that number one pick, it’s going to be a dream come true.”
– “I’m just worried about getting my mom a house and a car to show her how much I appreciate everything she’s done for me.”
– Says John Calipari is like a father figure; “He’s not my real dad, but he’s something like that”
– Wall says he’s still growing up; can’t do laundry, can’t cook
– Talks about how difficult it is to lose to WVU in the way they lost
– Hopes the fans in Kentucky remember him for the rest of his life
– “Thank you all for coming out, but I got to go take this test.”
