Von Wafer 2008-09 season stats in Europe with Olympiacos:


Greek A1 League:

36.4% Field Goal Percentage
33.3% 3 Point Field Goal Percentage

3.0 Points Per Game
1.3 Rebounds Per Game
0.0 Assists per Game

0.0 Steals Per Game
0.0 Blocks Per Game
0.3 Turnovers Per Game


Euroleague:

50.0% Field Goal Percentage
33.3% 3 Point Field Goal Percentage
86.7% Free Throw Percentage

7.7 Points Per Game
1.3 Rebounds Per Game
1.0 Assists per Game

0.3 Steals Per Game
0.0 Blocks Per Game
2.7 Turnovers Per Game



When you consider salary level, he is competing with Jannero Pargo for the title of biggest Euroleague bust of all time. Playing that way on offense and also he was playing zero defense and he never would pass the ball, and he was arguing with coaches - well it was obvious that Patrick Beverly was going to take his playing time on Olympiacos very quickly.

I still don't even understand why Olympiacos even signed him in the first place. They already had Yotam Halperin at shooting guard and he is a much better player than Wafer is. Olympiacos really has some serious management issues and Wafer clearly has some serious issues with being so immature.

He is good player and could stay in Europe. Olympiacos had too much expensive players and one of them just did not fit

Von Wafer history for Olympiacos, officially

We had reported some days ago that Olympiacos and Von Wafer's agents had already begun negotiations to terminate their co-operation and tonight it was made officially known that Von Wafer is history for Olympiacos.

Olympiacos officially announced the release of the player, who could sign with the Memphis Grizzlies any day now. The reason for his departure is the failure to adapt to Olympiacos' style of game and poor performance.
