I believe the Pistol Pete comment has some truth in it, but it depends on the perspective you look at it.

In terms of shear God given talent I think it is very fair to put Wall in a category with Maravich, Magic, and the other greats. Wall has the ability to transcend the sport and evolve the game... he is that talented.

BUT, in terms of actual performance and statistical output there is no comparison to the greats of the collegiate game and we won't see Wall long enough at this level to ever put him on that level. All we can go by is his performance while in college, and as an 18 YO Freshman he simply cannot stack up to what some of the greats did. If Wall were at UK for 4 seasons there is not a doubt in my mind he could become the greatest collegiate player ever...but that won't happen.

For what he has done this year, Chris Paul is the first name that comes to mind.
