Vasquez has his faults, but he isn’t particularly prone to taking ”bad” jumpers- stepbacks, contested jumpers, etc. In fact, a good percentage of his missed jumpers are resulting from getting the ball late in the shot clock.


I harped on this earlier in the year. Greivis is being overburdened. He is not a great PG, but he is very serviceable. The problem is that he is being asked to play the role of a great PG at times because we have so few initiators on the offensive end.

Again, I expect his assists to go down a bit next year with less usage, but his shooting should improve.

The problem is the type of SF that could make him viable aren't very available. You'd need a SF that can defend multiple positions so Vasquez can guard the worst perimeter player and he'd need to be able to create his own offense so Vasquez can play off ball more. If you don't have that then come playoff time I'm afraid he could end up looking like Okafor did vs. the Lakers.
