Key Characteristics & Legacy
Known as a pass-first playmaker with exceptional court vision for his size, Vásquez leveraged his height advantage at point guard. While a capable outside shooter and competitive defender, limitations in athleticism, strength, and offensive consistency prevented star status. His career ended in 2016 following injury. Since 2019, he has served on the New Orleans Pelicans' coaching staff during Summer League.
