Greivis Vasquez as.. Manu?
I'm posting this in a pretty hot time on the board with many new HornetGuru threads afloat, so hopefully it gets the views and curiosity piquing it deserves.
So I've been meaning to post this for a while. And I here I go.
Greivis Vasquez, a 6'6 guard. A player who has tremendous court vision and relies heavily on the pick and roll, which he executes very well. Something very interesting a friend of mine brought up to me, was that (although this being a whole different animal than the NBA) GV plays exclusively the shooting guard and combo guard for Venezuela and excels. We remember Greivis coming off the bench for JJack in 2011-2012, another role he did very well.
Everyone, when discussing the future, says Austin Rivers will be our Manu/Crawford. And others say he will be our Tony Parker. I believe he'll be like TP. I believe we're building our team like the Spurs, something I've noticed when looking at both teams, and seeing their huge similarities (probably cause of Monty and Pop relation, as well as Dell). And I also can't get help but notice the similarities between Greivis and Manu. Keep in mind, Greivis can't create his shot as well as Manu, but the two are somewhat similar. I dunno.
Just something I pondered. Discuss.

Ofcourse I realize that's tall order for these guys to fill those roles. I just assumed that's what you meant. Yeah I could definitely see GV fill Manu's role especially in its current form. The dude is a first year starter, I fully believe he'll improve over the next couple of years.
That is what I mean!
