he brings it every night. most important factor. and he does things that don't show up in the stat book, and you'd know that if you watched the majority of the games this year.

Aminu is a better rebounder when he wants to be by a slight margin, problem is we saw lack of effort a lot with him.
Aminu is not a better defender at all.
he's no better at dunking, not sure why that matters anyway.
neither need to dribble or be a good passer.

I know what i'm getting from DC every night.
I don't know what Aminu i'm getting every night, and besides that, at his best, he's still not good.

Yeah, screw the guy making less than $1.5 million a year that has shot over 40% from 3 the last 5 seasons.

Simply false.
Aminu per 36 - 1.8 steals/ 1.6 blocks
Dante per 36 - 1.0 steals/ .8 blocks

So basically twice as good at defense.

He is absolutely better at dunking. Why does it matter? Maybe this thing called fast breaks. You might have seen a couple with AD doing this thing called an alley oop. Yeah, Aminu was unstoppable at it while I've seen Dante miss almost every oop thrown his way.

Ha what? Your in the fricking NBA, everyone needs to know how to dribble and pass. Even Asik knows how to pass the ball pretty well. (Catching it and dribbling are his flaws) You are trying to say you don't need to know how to dribble or pass if you are a 3-4 in the NBA? Get the frick outta here boy.

4/17/13 @DAL 16 points 20 rebounds
4/26/15 vs HOU 16 points 12 rebounds (playoff game)

I mean, the dude averaged over 11 ppg and 7 rpg in the playoffs. When has Dante EVER achieved those numbers.
