ATHENS, Ga. — Prince Charles, you really should have been here.

Fewer turnovers on Wall's highlight reel
By Mark Story
With John Wall, it's hard not to get caught up in the thrill ride. The faster-than-a-speeding-bullet drives to the basket. Dipsy-do reverse layups made from impossible angles. Soaring blocked shots. No-look passes.
