He could miss three-to-four months to fully recover from the procedure.","spin":"Vasquez is in a precarious position with the Pelicans. He was the starting point guard when healthy this season, but the team drafted Austin Rivers with the 10th pick in last year's draft, and Rivers believes his best position is point guard. Depending on the Pelicans' plans next season, Vasquez's inability to practice and improve for the better part of the off-season could open the door for Rivers to claim the starting point guard role next season. Vasquez is under contract with the Pelicans for at least one more season, and the team can extend him a qualifying offer in 2014-15 to keep his free agency restricted.","date":"Thu May 23"},"fullName":"Greivis Vasquez","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"A gritty guard who plays with energy and passion, Vasquez proved last season that he is fully capable of handling starting-point guard duties when he filled in for injured guard Jarrett Jack. In 26 starts, Vasquez averaged an impressive 12.0 points, 7.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 3-pointers in 32.8 minutes per game. With Jack out of town, and rookie Austin Rivers in, Vasquez might have a shot at winning the starting point guard spot in 2012-13. His value will be heavily tied to the progression of Rivers, so be sure to watch this position battle closely during the preseason. If Vasquez can win the starting gig, he'll have some nice value in assists, steals and 3-pointers.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Oct 10"},"playerRater30DAY":1,"playerRater15DAY":-0.2,"positionRank":18}
