    He's going to be fighting for minutes with Lebron, Rui, Prince and even Reaves/Christi.
    Betting on yourself is the phrase de jour nowadays but I think his agent was smart - Even if he improves on several facets of his game his mpg may not be all that much on a stacked team.

    Not sure I would focus on this if I was Vando:
    catch and shoot 3, pull up after a closeout, and floaters inside make sense for him. He's not going to breaking down defenses with guys like Reaves and Dlo around. Finishing moves is what he needs.

    He just finished traveling with Phil Handy. I would imagine he is NOT completely ignoring what Phil thinks he should be adding to his repertoire? Just a thought?

    The heel seems an unlikely injury. Is that typically a muscle or tendon connected to the area thing, or actually an impact thing? Hard to imagine impact with the bouncy shock absorbed shoes they have now unless he's playing in some retro Big Ballers.

    On another note he's likely lost his starting "shot" to Prince.

    Yeah, hard to shine if you aren't playing. Bummer since he has put in so much work this Summer, but maybe he still gets the nod.

    Well worst case for the team if his defense not in the starting lineup to help with, or be the main POA guy, is playing more next to Christian when he’s in the game to help out there, more often?

    this is why it's good to have three of them. but i still think vando brings something unique and valuable, so it's a bummer that he's got a mysterious injury to a worrisome spot (i don't like heel stuff).

    Hopefully Vando heals up soon. I’m missing his energizer bunny energy!

    Glad we're deep at his position.

    We'll survive without him
