"Robert Anthony Vaden" is an American professional basketball player who last played for the Westchester Knicks of the NBA Development League. Vaden played college basketball with the Indiana Hoosiers men's basketball/Indiana Hoosiers and the UAB Blazers men's basketball/UAB Blazers for two years each. After four years in college, he was drafted by the Charlotte Bobcats with the 54th pick in the 2009 NBA Draft. After the draft, his draft rights were immediately traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder. However, the Thunder did not sign him to a contract. As a result, he went on to play in Legadue Basket/Italy, Slovakia and in the NBA Development League with the Tulsa 66ers, the D-League team affiliated with the Thunder.

Most of the games I started at the three, but I played like 30 minutes at the power forward spot.

The last couple of games we really hadn't had the effort that I think we need to be a good team. I don't know what we need to do to get to that position, but we need to find out quick.

He needs to play harder, needs to play better defense, cut in our offense -- that's all the stuff we talk about in the locker room. I hope it got to him.
