Dyson Daniels - confidence gone again?

He’s about to go back to the bench as well which will probably shoot his confidence down even further…

It probably shouldn’t considering I’m sure he knew he was going back to the bench once CJ was back

Wait till Willie starts giving Naji more minutes than him.

That’s just brutal. Maybe he is playing hurt?

Last 5 games he's averaging 5.2 pts on 25% from the field and .095% from three

If this continues, he is unplayable. Unfortunately, last night his offense was affecting his defense. He was the worst player on the court in the third quarter. I see a big decrease in his minutes coming.

The Curious Case of Dyson Daniels. I think the Pels are counting on DD to eventually develope and become a MAJOR part of an improved Pels team...AND PLAYING ALONGSIDE HERB.

No way they even consider giving up on DD...or his outside shot. They recognize the potential of having a Herb/DD combo on the defensive end. That combo could possibly be the ONLY major advantage that the Pels will have over other teams...in the near future...and it could indeed be a quite formidable edge.

He currently has HUGE problems on the offensive end. He will be given EVERY opportunity to fix these problems...especially if the Pels decide at some point this season, that they are not serious playoff contenders this year.

Looks like Herb is making the "3rd year leap". Still early, but his overall offensive game has taken a massive jump, in every respect. Not gonna go into ALL the different stats that make this leap obvious...but they are there...for sure. Now, let's stick with working with DD & see what he turns out to be. Worse case scenario...we have to turn him into a "dedicated" corner 3 guy. Just stand in the corner and ONLY shoot corner 3s...AND PLAY THAT D. His corner #s are MUCH better than his above the break #s. Hate to see DD just stand in the corner & shoot when open...but that's probably the Pels' fallback position...if DD doesn't improve. I'm still optimistic on DD.

Dyson is still only 20

When Herb was 20, he was a college soph and would play 3 more years at Bama

Just a little perspective

Having all players available and gaining some continuity in a role will do Dyson lotta good

He's young, and he should continue to get minutes in hopes that he will develop (something like 15mpg), but the many folks on this board who think he should start over CJ or cut into CJ's minutes (especially at the end of games) are f*cking delusional.

Dyson, like a lot of the team, plays best when everyone is giving effort on defense which leads to the team running on offense.

Hard to do when the two stars don't want to play defense or hustle. Or rather can't because they're out of shape.

Dyson deserves criticism but stars should make role players look better than they are, not worse.

Honestly, might not be a popular sentiment, but I think Dyson is trade bait to include with Larry in order to get a quality backup, defensive minded center, which is what this team needs.
You have to give up something of value and I rather keep Jonas to score and the backup to Defend late in the game...

yep… he’s fricked right now.

If he could just be rookie year Herb offensively, he wouldn’t come off the court.

In his current state, despite his D and overall skill which is awesome… he’s unplayable for long or key stretches when he’s this bad offensively.

However, I believe in him big time long term.
