After watching the game live, the thumb surgery explains some areas of his play. i.e. tipping the ball instead of grabbing it. A tough injury. Hopefully, the thumb will heal/improve weekly.

Probably helps explain, a little, about his recent, greater reluctance to take on contact around the basket.

Flash Back! That photo reminds me of Wiley Brown when he played for Denny. Loosing his prosthetic thumb, a team manager retrieving it out of the garbage, during the NCAA tournament. I know I am showing my age but those were the best times, I my humble opinion, as Denny built us into a national brand.

Well, it didn't stop him from making that last basket against EKU... Just saying. Try not using your thumb on your dominant hand for a while and see how much it affects you (like opening your fly) Plus it has to be painful every time it touches something.

and He Invented the High Five too!!! Loved those Days!!!
"There’s another version of high five history. It credits the invention of the hand gesture to Louisville Cardinals basketball players Wiley Brown and Derek Smith during the 1978-79 season. According to the players, Brown went to give a regular low five to teammate Smith during a practice session.
The low five had been a hand gesture popular among Black Americans since at least World War II. Instead of returning the low five, Smith looked Brown in the eye and said, “No. Up high.” Brown understood what Smith was getting at.


That year’s Louisville Cardinals players were known as the Doctors of Dunk. They liked to play above the rim and slam dunk the ball. Brown thought, why stay low when we play so high? So they raised their hands and the high five was supposedly born."

I bet Waterman sits out SMU game and returns for game at Wake Forest on the 28th.
I can't imagine playing so soon with that injury, shows you what a tough hombre Waterman is.
