John Wall Goes #1, Turner #2

Excerpt from ESPN.com:

The Washington Wizards selected John Wall with the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft Thursday as they quickly began rebuilding their backcourt.

The SEC player of the year is the first Kentucky player ever chosen first overall.

"It's a big honor," Wall told ESPN after his selection.

The Philadelphia 76ers took national player of the year Evan Turner from Ohio State at No. 2. The notoriously tough Philadelphia fans at Madison Square Garden liked the choice, loudly cheering and chanting "Evan Turner! Evan Turner!"
