I know it's been said before, but kudos to Wes. Great to have another MU guy to look for in the NBA box scores.
There may be a discussion on this elsewhere...
I have been keeping up with his statline and I know that in the NBA to +/- is a relatively new stat, yet Wes' +/- always seems to be higher than anyone elses on the Jazz. Even though he doesn't fill up the box score the Jazz do well with him on the court.
nice article on Monday night's game

I hope Wes's agent was able to get some playtime escalators in his contract. Even if Wes would get another $50,000 for cracking the starting lineup, Utah would be getting off CHEAP!
I'm sure Wes was thrilled simply to get the rookie minimum salary contract, period. Unless you're a first rd. pick, that's it. The second contract will prove to be more lucrative.

An undrafted rookie free agent does not get to negotiate anything. His $430,000 becomes guaranteed sometime in January. I'm sure hes fine with that.
i don't think this has been posted yet.

While his full contract isn't guaranteed until January, I can't imagine the Jazz cutting Wes now, he'd be picked up in a heartbeat.
Speaking of the Jazz... anyone happen to see what the Lake Show did to Utah in the 4th last night?
6 pts and 2 FG, and I am talking about the entireteam. Yikes.

Looks like Wes has no problem putting up shots...
