John Wall at the NC Pro Am!!!

Long armed John Henson at the NC Pro Am, but Henson was not the biggest star named "John" at the Pro Am! All videos and pictures were taken live at the Pro Am by this blog's staff and are exclusive to Don't Buy The Hype. You will not see this footage anywhere else.

John Wall(red shorts) came back to his hometown to play at the Pro Am. Wall's team was stacked. He played with former UNC star Jerry Stackhouse and current UNC players P.J. Hairston and John Henson.

John Wall with his hands on his hips, frustrated by his play. Wall was visibly upset since his team lost that night to an undermanned team.

This is not a great picture of Wall, but this is him leaving. You can see by the expression on his face that he is pouting about the loss.

Marquette's Darius Odom-Johnson, dunking. Old man Jerry Stackhouse knocking down the jumper. High flying dunks are no longer a part of Stackhouse's game. John Wall, trying the acrobatic dunk.

Jerry Stackhouse, John Henson, P.J. Hairston and John Wall are all on the same Pro Am team. Yet, the star of night was NC Central's Dominique Sutton(who was the best player on his team and the court this night). Sutton was not intimidated by Wall. Early in the game Sutton got into a jawing match with Wall. Sutton a few weeks earlier got into it with Duke's Austin Rivers and dominated Rivers and his team the entire night. Wall is a legit NBA starter and maybe a star, but Sutton seemed to throw Wall off his game and Sutton led his undermanned team to victory!

Sutton is too strong for Rivers. Rivers could never really get it going this night and he could not slow Sutton down, as well.

Too easy for Dominique Sutton!

You can see Kyrie Irving and Austin Rivers. Jay Williams is in the middle and all three Dukies are posing together for the cameras.

Past, present, and the future, Jay Williams, Kyrie Irving(this years #1 pick in the NBA Draft), and the much hyped Austin Rivers who will attend Duke Unversity this year.

Austin Rivers talking to former Duke great Jay Williams.

Austin Rivers should be a really good college player right from the start. Rivers is not a great athlete which may prevent him from ever becoming an NBA all-star. Rivers should put up huge numbers at Duke and then have a long ordinary career in NBA, but he seems to have killer instincts and that goes a long way. Other Duke players have killer instincts as well and it did not translate to NBA superstardom.

This is Austin Rivers shooting a free throw. Rivers is not a great jumper nor does he have great foot speed which means he will fit right in at Duke. Like other Duke stars of the past, Rivers is a great shooter, and unlike many of Duke's former players, he has great body control. He plays with a Kobe Bryant type swagger, which makes one wonder how he will mix with Coach K's military style idea of a team next year. Rivers would talk to the crowd and throw up hand signs after a good play. One time the crowd told him to shoot and put up one from about half court. I doubt he does that while he is playing for Coach K next year, if he tries, it should be interesting!

There were some pretty good players on the court this night. Pictured here is Austin Rivers, son of Doc Rivers, coach of the Boston Celtics. Seth Curry, son of Dell Curry and brother of Stephen Curry who plays for the Golden State Warriors. Also Darius Johnson-Odom who plays for the Marquette Golden Eagles. Johnson-Odom was the second best player on the floor during this game. Seth Curry shot the ball well, but other than that, nothing noteworthy. After, seeing Curry in person he is no more than 6-0 foot. Johnson-Odom's star was only out shinned by Rivers, but that should not be too much of a surprise. Johnson-Odom averaged almost 16.0 pts. a game last year and Rivers is considered by most, a one and done next year.

Don't know why Austin Rivers is bowing. Maybe he is getting ready for the Duke vs. UNC game!
