The closest point guard comparison that I can think of that even comes close is Derrick Rose, but I'm not sure that I even like that comparison. Rose was a very solid, consistent player during his one year at Memphis, but I don't remember him doing things that would drop your jaw like Wall does on a daily basis. I don't think that Wall is the best player on the planet like some announcers seem to believe, but the fact that he does what he does at age 19 is incredible.
With that said, he reminds me of a quicker and slightly lighter version of Dwayne Wade. He can shoot, play incredible defense with his athleticism, and he has no fear in taking it inside amongst the giants and scoring more times than not. I've always liked guards like that who aren't afraid to get knocked down a few times.
Now Cousins on the other hand, I think will have a hard time adjusting. I may end up being way off here, but he reminds me of Shelden Williams 2.0. He's not necessarily great at anything, but he's freakishly big and athletic which makes it no problem for him to push college kids around. In the NBA, it will be a much steeper learning curve.
