It's a myth that guys like Kobe or KG were ready for the NBA. These are guys who had the talent for the league, but took time to develop that talent for the game.
Lebron was just ready and not from a talent standpoint alone. His size and maturity allowed him to thrive.
If John Wall is a once-in-a-lifetime player (not just point guard), then he might be ready. But if not, he's better served to go play some college ball for a couple of years and hone his game.
And that guy whose going to Europe??? Ask him to check with Brandon Jennings and see how easy it is to fit in as a teenager in a strange country where you will have difficulty even communicating on the court.
