Greivis Vásquez may be starting player for Hornets

Venezuelan guard Greivis Vásquez (197 cm, Maryland’10) might be a starting player for the New Orleans Hornets. When he was playing his last year in the NCAA, few thought that he would be drafted in the 1st round (28th) or that he would be in the NBA long enough for a contract. Vásquez, compared to the NBA stars, hardly seemed like the man for the job, but three years later, he is with the New Orleans Hornets and might be a starting player. The opportunity came about, of course, after Jarret Jack injured himself. While Vásquez played with them, the team won 12 games and lost 14 but that record was much better than the record with Jack. While playing with them, he averaged  11,4 ppg and 7,3 aspg per game in the last month of the pre-season.
