<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">It's clear from recent comments that coach-general manager Bernie Bickerstaff is warming to rookie Walter Herrmann's production, particularly on defense. Herrmann did a nice job Saturday of pestering Milwaukee Bucks forward Ruben Patterson into four fouls. Bickerstaff loves how Herrmann denies the ball, playing his best defense before the man he's guarding is in scoring position.</div> Source Far too, late in the season for Bernie to realize Herrmann can actually play basketball. Herrmann deserved a lot more opportunities to show what he can do on the court, and I hope he bolts Charlotte after this year.
He played GREAT last night. I don't think Bernie gave Fabio much of an oppurtunity but I can understand why he didn't. He was horrible to start off the season and is just adjusting now. I think he definitly deserves his 10-20 minutes a game now but I doubt he's here next year. Theres too many young wings already and he doesn't have youth or being a draft pick on his side. He's a good example of the difference in athletisism of Europe and the NBA. he went from being a dunk champion over here to (from what I've seen) not even attempting a dunk. He's just too slow to beat his man off the dribble and he's getting most of his points off of other teams doubling Gerald and ignoring him.
I was actually kind of disappointed to see that Hermann never got a whole lot of PT for a while, because he does have pretty nice game, just needs PT to build his confidence back up.
