There's a recap of the game. No mention of Jamil Wilson.

After watching part of the game, I came away with a couple of opinions...

1) The guards were looking to share the ball with their buddies, or take th shot themselves... There was little active work done to spread the ball around (Sounds like most HS all-star games I have seen...).

2) If the player wasn't headed to an SEC school, or at least looking at one, he got little to no attention from the media.

3) If your buddy isn't open, double or triple pump and jack up a three point shot from NBA range, whether you are open or not.

4) John Wall did not look fit to carry Aaron Brooks' or Luke Ridnour's gym bag... Lordy, I miss those guys!

I saw John Wall play in the USA versus the World game in Portland last week and he looked pretty impressive to me. He had me thinking he was alot like Aaron but with a lot more muscle to him already.

John Wall would have been the best Oregon player ever had he decided to come here.

Probably not a problem any Duck fan will have to worry about... Unless the Ducks somehow make a tournament bracket that puts them up against whatever eastern team Wall chooses.

So, how did Jamil do?

Not sure but here's some highlights:

Wall is nasty. At 3:09, Jamil Wilson dunks. That's the only scoring highlight of him.

Word here in Raleigh is that Wall is maybe thinking of going straight to the NBA. He's 19 and a 5 year high school guy so this is possible

The NBADraft.net recap of the Jordan Brand Classic was not very complimentary of Jamil's performance in the game:

Jamil Wilson -- 6 pts, 3-10 fg, 0-2 3p, 1 reb, 1 ast -- Wilson didn't have a great showing going much of the game without scoring. He had a nice ally oop dunk off of a Wall pass but took way too many shots and didn't impress in the process.
