Gary Parrish of CBS Sportsline has his point guard rankings out, with UK’s John Wall at No. 1, ahead of Kansas’ Sherron Collins.
And Collins doesn’t like it.
Collins tells Parrish:
“It bothers me a little bit,” Collins said when I asked about all the attention Wall is getting. “I think I’ve established myself, and he’s coming out of high school with a lot of hype. But I’m the old guy, and I ain’t gonna let no young boy get the best of me.”
Parrish ranks South Carolina’s Devan Downey fourth and Florida freshman Kenny Boynton eighth.

Pretty sure that Wall is faster, taller, and a better finisher than Collins. The only advantage collins would have is a better jump shot, maybe. Otherwise, in a one on one game, Wall would dominate.
I hope we get to see it.
pretty sure that Eric Bledsoe could take Collins one-on-one. John Wall is on a whole different level, sorry Sherron. On UK, you would be a 3rd string point guard.
