re: What does Vasquez have to do to maximise his productivity

Vasquez is a classic big PG who would benefit from a smaller, quicker SG playing next to him. That way on D they could swap men. This will occur when EGKnee returns (Some reason I feel optimistic about it... maybe because I know first hand how helpful it is to strengthen everything around the knee to take the pressure off of it). That will allow him to not have to shoulder the entire load. Name one other person on the roster outside of random flashes from Rivers that can actually set someone else up. Vasquez is a winner though, he will do everything in his power to do so. He proved it in the college game and has done a pretty good job of making the right play in critical moments this season (but when 100% of the plays that needed to be made shoulder on him, he is bound to fail at times). Remember it is his 3rd year in the league and he doesn't really have a wealth of veteran talent around him. This team will have to learn how to win at this level. Hornets will have growing pains, stop fretting 6 games into the season over something small. Even Monty said it (don't feel like finding it). You need 20 or so games to really know where you stand (remember 8-0 starts turning into first round exits?). This team will get better at a quicker rate than others and the fact that they've won some tough games on the road already just proves the talent level. As far as Vasquez, when this team is healthy is the the 4th or 5th option scoring and will do his job otherwise. Quit stressing over nothing.

tl;dr
Meh
Halfway Decent
Same stuff over and over
