While Wafer's shooting made an impression on Karl, the Nuggets coach liked another aspect of the guard's game.

"He did two things that are NBA style: He shot the ball well and he showed speed," Karl said of the former Florida State standout whom the Nuggets signed as a free agent April 13. "His speed was impressive. He has the ability to play the game fast."

Karl believed Wafer's showing in the summer league proved he'll be more than just training camp fodder. "I thought he played very well here," Karl said. "He showed me that he's an NBA player."

Karl's sentiments were echoed by Jimmy Eyen, a veteran assistant coach for the Los Angeles Clippers.

"I like his talents," said Eyen, whose team signed Wafer to a 10- day contract last season before releasing him. "He definitely has an ability to shoot the ball, and he's quick and strong."
