We all know Favors is a beast. He will improve GT but he wont make them title contenders IMO.
Walls impact isnt just based on Wall either, it has to do with the talent Cal brought in. I think the addition of wall makes UK a title contender. Not saying we win it, or even make the final four. But we are back in the discussion once again. Last years UK team was a PG away from being very good. Now we have alot more talent with a GREAT PG in wall, and one helluva PG in Bledsoe to back him up. Plus comparing the coaches of GT and UK, the edge goes to UK. Plus the turnaround for UK is going to be so significant.
I dont believe theres enough in Minnesota for Royce White to make UM a sweet sixteen team. JMO. I also dont believe UM will win the Big Ten.

There are a lot of players I would think of potentially having a bigger impact right away than Royce White.
I think Favors is very good but I also think he is just a little bit overrated. I know there won't be anyone to agree with on that one, so we will just have to wait and see how it plays out.
Henson might have a huge impact right away.
Stephenson could depending on where he goes and what does or doesn't follow him wherever he goes.
I like the impact Cousins could have at UK as well as Wall.
I really like Bradley and think he will be very good. Henson is still my favorite in the class but Avery wouldn't be very far behind on my list.
I also really like Hamilton and think he might have a huge impact right away.
Henry could make the biggest difference. He is exactly what KU needed for a already loaded team

an elite PG is always the best bet to make the biggest impact.... he is the one with the ball most of the time.... the one who makes the decisions.
Look at Courtney Fortson at Arkansas.... he wasn't even as highly ranked as a lot of others but since he dominates the ball so much, he had a huge impact.

I think the John Wall impact will be similar to how Rondo impacts the Celtics.
Yeah, John Wall simply because PG's have the ball in their hands so much.... and he will have lots of weapons around him to hit the shots he gets for them.....

I really do believe John Wall will have the biggest impact. Like Marc said he has the ball most of the time and will be able to deliver the ball accordingly. I think he will be the ey to UK's success.
