I picked game 5 for Wafer to break out for this series. but that was with Yao...so I still don't know if he will even make an impact this series.
I think it has to a lot do with matchups and the Lakers backcourt rotation. Wafer got fewer than 10 minutes in Games 1 and 2, but got more in Game 3, when Fisher was out of their rotation. Fisher's back in Game 4, and Wafer's minutes sinks back down. I'm not sure what Adelman's thinking, but I don't think Wafer's minutes is anything personal.
