I dont think Waters sucks. I have a problem with the way he plays the same way Wade does like when he pulled him immediately from the game vs Ole Miss.

He's super talented, just needs to play within himself. When his shot selection is good, you can deal with the turnovers. When his shot selection is bad, and he's turning the ball over, he kills the team.

Lester Earl and I both thought that Waters needed some time on the bench, which he clearly did. I didn't think Coach Wade grounded him enough, but I was very impressed when he sat him early in the 1st half last game. That will go a long way.

I compare LSU to the old Allen Iverson 76ers team before they had to trade to Dikembe Motumbo. Iverson would freelance on defense a lot like Waters. But they would sit Iverson for about 5 minutes between the 3rd and 4th quarters. Then they had 6'4" and 6'5" guards with tough forwards (6'7" and 6'8") with a 6'11" shot blocker or backup at center. In that time they would destroy the other team by locking down on defense. I saw a bit of that in the 2nd half with LSU the other night.

Compare that to:
Mays 6'4"
Smart 6'4"
Williams 6'7"
Naz Reid 6'11"
KBW 7'0"

Deadly on defense
