DC is a great team for this to happen since they like to play a three guard team with Hinrich at SF. Otherwise, I imagine we will see Ray play more SF.

According to Greg Dickerson's Twitter, Marquis has been spotted at the Garden. Now we still don't know if he will suit or not but I guess he will if his absence was "only" due to family issues.

Maybe he has to prove that he's a capable rotation player. But that's not the question. He's already proven he's a better option at SF than Harangody or Lasme, and that's all that's relevant at this point.

Wafer could barely make an impact in the rotation with Delonte West out - which was primetime to make an impression. IMO, he only made the roster over Lasme because D.West was out and he flopped. So yes, he has some stuff to prove - like can he contribute more to this team than 4.4 minutes of no defense?
Well Daniels did play, and he played pretty well.

Daniels does a lot of things that don't show up in stat sheet. In his 5 or 6 minutes I thought Luke did look last night. His offense comes within the system and his shot is smooth. No doubt he is an nba rebounder, I would have liked to see more of him, especially defending the sf position ie. can he do it?

He had much quicker feet, and was a better defender in general. Scal never got enough credit for his ability to cover SFs. He was really very good at it.
