That is literally the definition of a miss and you can't have any in basketball when they are supposed to be starters/major players. You can miss on the last guy on your bench not on starters/major contributors. Just because Herard ended up being the last guy on the bench doesn't change that he is a major miss. Had we missed on Datcher and Herard was actually as good as advertised we wouldn't feel the effects of Datcher sucking at all. There's the difference.

Eli Wright is treading the line of being a miss too. Brooks is another miss. Howland is racking up the misses right now and not nailing enough makes.
