I think we all expected a little more out of David Nwaba this year. He was a nice surprise last season, bouncing back from the formerly catastrophic but now seemingly routine Achilles injury to play some of the best ball of his career. He routinely flashed his athleticism running the court and playing spirited defense, and we all (myself included) were looking for more of that this season with Nwaba another year removed from surgery.
And it’s not that we didn’t see it. Nwaba didn’t necessarily play worse this season. He just didn’t play much. Certainly not enough to make a significant impact.
