I know this ia a cliche answer, but you really do need to actually see the games. Not saying Veal is anything special; he simply doesn't COMPLETELY suck, like last year, and he's not actively detracting from the team when he's on the court - perhaps even helping a little. It's a few ticks above absolute zero, that's all.
