A good game for Wes even though the jazz lost

Good for him. I hope this works out. Sloan is an excellant coach and a good human being, intense but good

16 minutes isn't too shabby for a guy who wasn't drafted.

When Wesley came in, Jazz were down 7. He played good D. Had a nice post up on Aaron Brooks and drew a foul. Adelman saw the mismatch and took Brooks out. Had a nice floater in the lane, 2 free throws. Jazz tie the game up. Deron Williams gets called for a bad Offensive foul, Rockets go on a 7-0 run in less than a minute and kills Wesley's plus minus.  He made one mistake on D, but overall a very solid game. 

He needs to string a few of these together to be safe though.  Either that or Harpring just needs to retire.

Sweeet....

I feel like such a fanboy...but a big part of it has to be because I was in the same class as Wes and the rest of the graduated seniors (I still have the rest of this semester to go).

I can't imagine how much more geeked out I would have been if I was at MU during DWade's time here.
