Suns 2pts 1/4 fgs 10 mins (Booker schooled him)
Jazz 0 pts 0/2 fg 17 mins
Thunder 5pts in garbage time 2/4 fgs 17 mins
Bucks 0 pts 0/1 fgs 18 mins
Celtics 0 pts 0/0 fgs 14 mins

This is very concerning considering he is a 1st round pick.

He looks so hesistant and to the point scared to shoot the ball. Even on fast breaks he is always looking to pass or just wait for his teammates every time. A couple of times he did go to the goal he has either missed or had his shot blocked.

This has been more than just the five games listed and more of a synopsis of the season but I don't see improvement. His minutes need to go elsewhere and send him but to the G league for more experience especially if you plan on keeping him on the team.

On the other end Naji shoots too much and is another story in itself.

Dyson’s value has nothing to do with points. His defense is elite NBA defense. At 20 years old. It’s actually unreal how good he is at defending nba players.

Jose should get those minutes. He is also a disrupter, but can actually run an offense.

Dyson seemed to be improving on offense, then lost confidence again. He is currently in full Ben Simmons mode, it makes him unplayable.

There was one play, I think it was either against Phoenix or Utah, that he drove to the rim and would have had to finish over one defender and instead he pulled it back out and swung the ball to the corner. It was at that point I really realized that something has to change with his game. He's really good defensively (even though I think even that is a little inconsistent) but he's such a non factor offensively and so passive on that end I'm not entirely sure how much his overall impact is really felt.
