    Von wafer was instant offense off the bench. He is kind of like Eric Gordon with more athleticism and less shot. Jamal Crawford is probably a better comparison. Not sure why he could never secure a permanent place in the NBA.

    The only comparison between Crawford and Wafer is that the both came off of the bench.

    Terrible comparison. Von was a head case and was a gunnner that was inefficient. Crawford is one of the best 6th men/bench scorers in league history.

    His career FG percentage is 42%. I wouldn't call that "incredibly inefficient". J.R. Smith was a headcase too. When you're winning the perspective changes.

    Jamal Crawford is streaky but almost always caught fire when it mattered most and was/is clutch as hell.

    For sure. I wasn't trying to say Von Wafer is as good as him. I was just comparing their style of play.

    Von was a mini Vernon Maxwell. He could go crazy, just not as much.
