The whole idea of T-Mac coming of the bench and Von Wafer starting in his place, i think is a great idea. Von wafer, seemed to be effective in the starting minutes if coming off the bench or starting. he seemed effective in the first 4 – 6 minutes of his playing time. Can you picture the type of energy the rockets would have from the start if von started. i know that i would probably be hard to justify having your best perimeter player on the bench but i can see it happening.
to me mcgrady seems more effective if he has the ball in his hands using his length and height over lesser players. this year the second group was probably the “X” factor in many games. if they preformed well then that pretty much equaled a win for the rockets and vise – versa. without yao the second group pushed the ball very effectively having lowry and wafer and sometimes landry to finish the break. also mcgrady’s type of play is leaning more of up and down opposed to half-court offense. the only problem with the second group was with their size, only having landry at 6’8’’ is a problem. so having mcgrady another 6’8’’ player can really help.
