keep it up Wafer, he will be a very good player in the league, maybe not All star level, but a very good one
what i like about wafer is even the games he was not shooting great, he still contributed with defense and did things that changed the game, he has been consistently good all season so people can't say "oh he's just hot or streaky now" even if he is hot as i said, he has been consistently good all year, I think him and Aaron brooks are the real deal, they aren't super stars but they are 2 guys that will be very good players that many teams will be persuing in the future.
this has to be the rotation that makes the rockets deep Hopefully they have this lineup the last 30-35 games of the season Yao Scola T-mac Battier Alston (Damn it) Bench Artest Landry Brooks Wafer
If you want to fix the problems at PG...here ya go...assuming everyone is healthy and well "conditioned" C - Yao PF - Scola SF - Battier SG - Wafer PG - Tmac Battier or Wafer guards the other team's PG...Tmac takes the easiest out of PG/SG/SF.... Main Bench Artest Brooks Landry Barry Alston Situational players Hayes Deke Luther Dorsey That team could compete. DD
Wafer is playing much much better than TMac. With TMac instead of Wafer (perhaps even TMac of last year) we lose big against the Lakers and probably also lose to the Celtic.
Hopefully Tracy can come back with the same amount of passion and heart as wafer, if he does we will be deadly with wafer coming off the bench to give T-mac a break. Brooks is struggling with his shot and we miss that right now. I think thats why we saw alston in there at the end of the lakers game, anyway i like the way we look right now the game is more fast paced and the plays just look smooth and easy.
Nice comparison. The kid just has it.. hops, quickness, a decent jumper, and a brain to go with all that talent... keep it up, vakeaton
I personally don't like t-mac handeling the rock. He doesn't push the ball and the offense doesn't move smoothly with him running it. Everything looks tough to get.
Ok, how about this then? PG - Brooks SG - Wafer SF - Tmac PF - Scola C - Yao But then I think you are weaker on defense as Tmac is lazy there, and Wafer is inexperienced, and Brooks is undersized. DD
I'd take the guy who would give me a good attitude and 100% effort. Sometimes guys that work hard and go all out will take you further than a former all-star that wants to just get by on his reputation. In other words hard work beats out talent if the talent has no direction. At this point Von Wafer is definitely more than Tracy, he's playing with passion and leaving it all on the table, something Tracy hasn't done in a long time.
negative, the offense actually always get easy buckets when T-mac drives and dishes out. The only reason that u feel the offense gets stagnant is because he always take those 20 foot jumpers with 20 second on the shot clock.
Well said sir......Wafer is certainly a LOT more efficient than Tmac this year. Look at his numbers for the year incredible. So does Rafer, and I would rather have Tmac doing that. DD
Yeah I watched the game last night. He had a slick pass to brent barry on the open court. It's not god awful, but it's not at t-mac's level either. Granted he only had 2 TOs (I thought I counted more but thats whats on the box score), he still isn't an able passer as tmac. As an able scorer, hell yes he's a stud. As a passer that can get others going like t-mac can, nah. If you're comparing him to tmac NOW, then you're comparing him to a hurt t-whack. If you're comparing him to what t-mac can be if healthy come on...that's no question! I will say this, Von wafer is a blessing to our team. He's really lifted us. But t-mac has given us alot of success (in the regular season). Give this kid a few more games and have coachs actually plan around him, and we'll see how he turns out. Hopefully by then, tmac will be healthy and follow wafer's example.
What else is there to compare him too, this is all there is right now. I don't care what Tmac did in the past, he is getting paid to perform THIS year...and he just isn't. Wafer is playing better than Tmac right now....personally, I hope we get to see them play together. I would not take Wafer out of the starting lineup, he has earned a spot. DD
