When I heard that stat last night my jaw dropped. That's how you have a positive impact even when your shot is not falling.
It was good to see Temple, Booker and Ves use their defense, athleticism and energy to contribute to last night's win. With his length and activity, Ves has the ability to create a lot of second and third offensive opportunities for the Zards.
With that last game, Ves just jumped over Gortat for TRB/36 with 10.5 vs 10.3
He also leads the team in steals/36 with 3.3 Trevor A is 2nd with 2.2
Also leads the team in DRtg at 98 and has an ORtg of 119 USG of only 9.4 which is lowest on the team
Now I have no idea where his ORtg settles in at, but that other stuff sound like VesBall
All of this is on very small sample size of course. He only played 65 total minutes. But he has looked good out there. Energy is there. Confidence is rising. I saw him locate Love late in the game and ran right at him and put a body on his to box him out. And he did. It was inspiring to see Ves do something like that. Specially on Love.
I think the rebounds and steal are numbers he might be able to maintain. He has to size, athleticism and body to do that. The pick and roll plays should be there also. Ves could always play that kind of a game. Just not sure that was anything the team focused on or if they had the players to get him the ball. I think adding Gortat has helped Wall and the team focus on that kind of offense more and that is helping them spot Ves the same way. And that plays into things Nene can do also either by being the finisher, or a passer.
Good stuff.
