I think he takes Wanamaker's place next year for sure, unless Brad comes back at the vet minimum (and even then I think I'd rather just roll the dice on Waters). I expect a 3-4 year contract for Waters sometime during the offseason. His shot hasn't really fallen yet, but he's played like 100 minutes so it's not a big concern for me because everything else looks great. He looks like the best player on the floor every time I catch a Red Claws game.
I hear you on all these points but I’m worried about his size. He plays with great effort and smarts on D but dude is tiny and that can really be a factor. Wannamaker isn’t dynamic but is a legit 6-3 or 6-4 who’s built pretty wide. Gives our bench a lot of switch ability. I dunno, I like Waters but he’s gonna have to prove that 15 min a night it him as backup point is feasible as a defensive unit for our bench imo
I agree Wanamaker has size, but he’s just been terrible off the bench lately. So frustrating to watch. Plus Waters is a traditional point guard that can shoot, and make plays given the chance. He was voted SEC defensive player of the year, so i know he can play D despite his size.
I disagree wannamaker has been terrible lately. He’s had a **** stretch for a bit but he’s has a good season imo. And yeah Waters was dpoy in the sec but all that proves to me that his size wasn’t a problem in college. I know the kid knows how to play d, the questions is wether his size renders that moot in the NBA. But yeah don’t wanna be too contrarian, i want him to out perform Wannamaker obviously.
