It's funny that Wall is listed as 6'1 on the Nike Hoop Summit site and 6'4 on the Jordan site. I would guess that 6'1 may be closer to reality.
Mason Plumlee future Blue Devil will be playing in the 2009 Nike Hoop Summit this saturday!
The 2009 Nike Hoop Summit is coming this this Saturday April 11, 2009 at 7 pm Fox Sports Net (FSN) Live national broadcast at the Portland Rose Garden!

7PM Pacific time.... for the Hoop Summit
10PM EST...
Directv channel 646
Also, if you guys are interested, the Derby Festival Classic (bledsoe) is 7PM EST and should be available online ... www.wazoosports.com
I believe it will be streamed live... if not, they will have it available on their website eventually.
Isn't the Nike Summit the same game where Pocius went off and scored like 40 something points against the American team? I seem to recall Marty had a really good game in one of the all-star games, just not sure which one...
Thanks Roy. I thought that was the game. Actually thought he had more points than that, but still he played well that night.
I plan on watching the game tomorrow night and hopefully both Mason and John will have great games. After the game of course, Mason can seal the deal and convince John to join him in a championship run next year at Duke!
Only dreaming, but maybe lots of good things are about to happen for Duke, starting with signing Wall!
Go Duke! (Only 7 months til practice starts!)
will the game be shown in Durham on Time Warner channel 50, or is there another option?
Check out this video of some Plumlee dunks, including a successful dunk of 3 balls at once:

Amazing.
Hopefully he does well in the game tonight.
Wall is really, really, really impressive so far in the Nike Hoop Summit game. He has 4 points so far and at least 2 assists in only a few minutes. He also picked the PG's pocket at halfcourt and dished it off for a dunk.
Plumlee didn't really do much yet, but he had a shot blocked. He had a nice defensive play where he knocked the ball out of a guy's hand as he went to shoot. Plumlee has very quick hands.
Wall is soooo good. If Carolina gets him, we are in BIG trouble.
Sheesh!!! I am so sick of this attitude!!
Silly angst about kids who have not committed anywhere is not the kind of thing that gets you a good reputation around this board. It is not like anyone sees Carolina as the leader for this kid or even a strong contender at this point!!
Sigh. Some of ya'll just don't know how to do anything but worry.

Plumlee made a nice 3-4 foot shot. He just fouled a guy on a 3 pointer... not good. He looks solid, but he's not as good as guys like DeMarcus Cousins or Renardo Sidney.
Wall has one of the quickest first steps I've ever seen. He's just generally faster than everyone with the ball. The announcer said something like, "Explosive first step doesn't even begin to describe John Wall." He bricked a 3 pointer earlier. If he develops his shot, he could definitely be an NBA All-Star.
Wall just blocked a 3 pointer and then posterized a guy on a breakaway.
Good god. Wall just threw a NASTY double clutch fast break dunk over some dude. Apparently his YouTube videos aren't an aberation. haha
