They have a couple of newbies on the team....can always make a diff the first couple of games. Andre Miller who will be a good change of speed type to backup Wall and Gooden. Who knows how he'll fit in.

The good thing about our backup point guard match up is as bad of a defender vasquez is I think him and Andre Miller is actually a good match up. Vasquez has the size advantage on him and that is what Miller usually uses to score. I'm relying on Vasquez to at least keep him in check.

Raps outscore opposition by 5.4 points per 48 minutes with Jonas Valanciunas on the bench this season, compared to 0.8 with him on court.

Big Cat however can teach him better positioning and defense hopefully. I agree however he needs a rest, and then search for a good mentor.
Don't want to turn this into a JV thread but a couple of things stand out to me: in the last 6 games, he has had 4 games with 0 FTAs. His last really bad stretch was 3 games from Jan 17 - 20th where, in 3 games, he went to the line zero times. In that good 11 game stretch I mentioned above, 50 FTAs, so, over 4 per game.
The other aspect that has been really noticable is the pick and roll defense.
STill, the rebounding hasn't really fallen off so you can't say that he's not making effort plays. I don't know what the issue is but he's had these stretches before and he's always bounced back with a string of solid games. We'll see how the next week or so goes.
