Darius thread!

Darius thread!
it's actually more like a Beno sucks thread
Beno thread!
yeah.... what a find this darius guy
I am right in thinking that Vaughn was really brought in as a 3rd string PG, before Udrih sucked so much? Does that mean that Washington could be the backup PG as the season goes on?
He played pretty fierce and looked good out there.
Washington does not hurt the Spurs when he enters the game (he has played exactly four minutes of a regular-season NBA game so take it based upon that). This is what backup point guards should do. If you don't notice they are in the game, all is good. If you do, it damn well better be because they did something cool.
Think Dwash fits the primary backup PG role.
It really depends. If he is consistent in his effort and production then I see no reason why not. But if he is erratic and loses focus on a regular basis (both common problems for rookies) then Vaughn could take over. Even if Darius does get the backup spot I still think I'd ship him to Austin a few times when the Toros have several games close to one another and the Spurs have a light week. Getting him a few nights at 35MPG instead of 12 or so would help him out. Even if it was a lower level of compe ion. Plus, it would let us rotate Vaughn in and keep him fresh but ready to go.
Well, to be fair, we still have to see how he does against full court pressure.
As a Cincinnati guy whose team faced him a couple times at Memphis, I know he was damn good in college. I feel good about him with the Spurs as well. He's a hard worker, tenacious player.

Come on, there's no way Darius is more than 10,000 times better than Beno. Stop exaggerating.
your right. thats why the le is 100,000x
You didn't understand it at all.
Darius ing Washington!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
If only we still had Scola... or landed Kidd.
Good take on DW, DW....
I think Vaughn still has the inside track to retain the job when he gets back from the nagging injury because he still has the ability to manage the game effectively and pressure the ball on defense.
I saw both traits out of Darius tonight, but if Pop had to go with one or the other, I'm sure he'd choose the vet.
Also, I agree with you that some D-League time could be VERY good for Washington. He would be able to play some major minutes and get back into the groove of being an aggressive offensive player.
Because, I do think that if Darius flashed his offensive game and still do those things above...he'd be the backup.

I pumped my fist in truimph when he nailed that trey!
That was the most exciting part of the night for me. You have to feel good for the guy. Especially after he missed both of those free throws. I'm glad he got a big confidence boost shortly after with that tre.
Watching Washington warm up he has a really nice stroke and was knocking down most of his shot, mid-range and from beyond the arc.
That was a big "no! no! . . . YES!" moment for me.
Darius White!
I like what I saw out of Washington tonight. His defense was aggressive and he played pretty fearless. Hopefully he can continue to play well and earn the backup point guard spot. Vaughn is much better served as a third point guard who doubles as a security blanket.
Washington made mistakes out there but overall nice job for a rookie point guard in his NBA debut. If he can keep scrapping, Pop is going to give him a fair shot to earn minutes.
as the season goes and he learns so goes vaughn
