I think everyone is overrating Dyson Daniels. I’ve watched all his games. I scouted him in the G league, thought he was a better prospect then even Mathurin, and was hoping the Pelicans picked him. With that said I’ve been disappointed in his play. I’ll briefly break down his worth and the trajectory I think he will end up on. He’s a C- prospect with a B upside. His biggest strength is his age. I have to remind myself he is still only 21. Herb Jones, which is his archetype, improved massively from his freshmen, sophomore, and even junior Alabama years. With that said I don’t think he ever comes close to being a Herb Jones, even though he has a few stretch at Herb doesn’t. Dyson’s defense is obviously elite for his age and there isn’t anything to pick a part there. He is also a good rebounder for his position and size, which often goes overlooked. As he puts on muscle, I think he will become one of the best rebounders for a SG/F. Now on to the negatives. His passing is overrated, even if he has flashes of being a good passer. In many ways he is very similar to a Lonzo-lite in that regard. Lonzo Ball is one of the best passers in the league but for some reason could only ever average 6 assist despite having a high usage. There was a reason for this. Both an inability to create any space when handling the ball, and a tendency to stop his dribble. Lonzo could not, and would not create his own passing lanes. Had he done that he would have been leading the league in assist. Dyson has both of these flaws, only worse. Particularly his tendency to stop his dribble. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a player with his skill set as bad as he is in that regard. I don’t know if it’s fear, a lack of early childhood reps, or something else, but it almost completely nullifies his passing skills. Can he kick a good pass in transition or get a hockey assist? Sure! He’s solid in that regard. Most players can do those things at a solid level though. I don’t think he will ever overcome this major flaw, which will forever stunt his offensive game. Lonzo never overcame it, and I don’t think Dyson will either because his problem goes even deeper. The rest of Dyson’s offensive problems are well documented. He offers no value on that side of the court, and is a net negative there. It’s so bad that it chips away most of the success his defense brings. Is there a world where Dyson becomes a Herb Jones defensive monster, who can grab 8 rebounds a game, and shoot close to 40% from three. I think so, but it’s highly unlikely. I don’t think he will overcome his inability to continue his dribble, which will always keep him from being any more than a solid passer as a forward. I also think it will take a minor miracle for him to become a 40% three point shooter. He’s just way too shaky on even his free throws. With everything said Dyson is a hard worker, and that almost always leads to some kind success. Hopefully he’s able to overcome his confidence issues, which I think are the likely culprit of many of his offensive flaws.
I disagree. CJ completely changed his game when playing with Zion as an off all shooter. Until he injured his chest he was leading the Association in 3 point shooting at 48% finishing at 43%.
The spurs I think regret not paying Murray because he would've fit perfectly with Wemby as a playmaking two way player. and now they got an old CP3 and Tre Jones who could benefit training with a vet. Devin Vassell could also gain some promising insight.
Murray and wemby timeline doesn’t make sense ones competing for chips and is a bet looking for competitive basketball the spurs and wemby is trying to rebuild
Why would trading Trae be irresponsible? I mean this hawks roster is not good, I’m sorry it’s not. I hope they trade Trae because he needs to be in a better situation and a better run franchise. You cannot be serious if you think this hawks roster is good and a roster that can lead Trae young to success, like let’s be serious
Do you think tanking for Cooper Flagg is a better idea? The hawks have a terrible history of luck with the draft lottery and Trae young for all his faults is a top 20 player at least
Give David Griffin time to get a 5. This was just the first step. Look for a 3 team trade involving Ingram or keeping him to next year's Trade Deadline. If its the latter I see the team trading for Kessler Walker or Walker Kessler from Utah as a rim protector. Can you amagine a lineup of Murray, Herb & Walker with Zion supplying weakside help!
