    who in THE WORLD, at the beginning of this year, would have forecasted that Wafer would ever be in that conversation...what a bright spot.

    Dwight Howard
    Kobe Bryant
    LeBron James
    Von Wafer
    Dwyane Wade
    Vince Carter
    Andre Iguodala
    Andre Miller
    LaMarcus Aldridge
    Paul Millsap

    Being mentioned in the same article as Kobe, Dwight, LeBron, and Dwayne (not in a negative way) is seriously a honor.

    This is kidding, if all GMs are listening, then we have to pay lots of money to keep him. Come on, Wafer is just a role player who is playing well right now, but the player of the week?

    Among NBA 2 guards, it goes: Kobe, Wade, Wafer. In that Order.

    I found some pics on this site http://glasssong.blog.sohu.com/rss

    Looks like they are prepping V-Dub in practice and a lot of attention from the media.

    Definitely. Plus, he's a nice consolation prize considering we don't have any draft picks this year. He's roughly the same age as a rookie after your standard four year college career only he has NBA experience (in some capacity) for three years prior to joining the team. He's not only good right now but good for the future.

    considering who he had to guard etc. he even turned it up some just like what the staff asked from him i'm impressed, but i'm not shocked either. I knew he was going to be a very good prospect. He made alot of progress in the D-League before he became a Rockets playing in Fort Worth.

    That's a good way to think about it. Hope we can sign him next year.
