Vazquez needs to move up the depth chart and take Law's minutes. I understand that one game is a very small sample size - but at least Vazquez gives us some kind of production off the bench. IIRC, Law started the year 0-15 from the floor.

Defensively, Vazquez is probably more of a liability though. On one of the first defensive stands, Rondo blew by Vazquez like he had cement in his shoes. The only problem, you could tell that Vazquez was putting ALOT of effort into moving laterally, he just couldn't do it quickly enough.

We did great until overtime and then it seems like all the gas was gone from the tank.

Rudy was great for the first 2 weeks and is now falling backwards. He needs to pick it back up, no reason he can't get 25-30 every night.

Yeah, he completely blew by him, but to be fair Greivis just checked into the game with zero warmup. Rondo does that to tons of guys, never mind 6-5 rookies. I haven't made up my mind on his defense yet; he could suck, he could be good. We'll see.

Greivis is slow. No getting around that. He has the ability to make up for some of that with his size, wingspan and BBIQ. He go away with this a lot in college. He always seemed to be great at defending the lanes. This is what will keep him from being anything more than a good back up, adequate fill in starter. That said, he is a better player than AC and was a great pick where the Grizz got him.
