The Nets' second round pick last June, Juan Pablo Vaulet, has like his first round counterparts spent a lot of time in street clothes. Like Rondae-Hollis Jefferson he suffered an ankle injury, in his case a stress fracture and like RHJ, he missed significant time, 19 games. Both he and Hollis-Jefferson had the same surgeon, Dr. Martin O'Malley, the NBA's go-to foot and ankle specialist.
And like RHJ, he was frustrated. Now, finally, after some minutes restrictions and rest, he seems to be hitting his stride for Bahia Blanca in the LNB. In last two games, he scored a total of 31 points in 43 minutes, shot 11-of-14 from the floor, hitting the only three pointer he took.
