re: Dyson Daniels offense and Nance were really bad last night

Dyson and Nance weren't great, but they weren't the main reasons we lost. Those were:

1) We're missing most of our 3-pt shooting: CJ, Trey, and Ryan.

2) We're missing CJ's playmaking.

3) Zion didn't play.

4) Foul trouble (doesn't matter whether you blame Herb or the refs) meant that Herb only played 25 minutes.

5) No one else had a really good night. BI shot 10-22 from the field, JV was 3-10, Naji was 2-6, Jose was 5-11, and even Hawk was only 8-17. The only people who shot above 50% were Herb and Cody, and they were only a combined 8-13. Dyson was really bad, but most of the other guys were only OK.

6) We shot 61% from the FT line. In particular, BI was only 5-8 and Jonas was 2-4. We left the winning points at the FT line.

7) And, obviously, we were tired because of the B2B, and our injuries meant that we have a lack of depth at the moment, so our guys had dead legs by the end of the game.

I’d consider Dyson as Zion’s backup when the team is healthy with secondary ball handling. Larry has no lift or movement, critical to an undersized 5, don’t know what the Pels will do there. Zeller plays like he needs more minutes.

Its been a problem for a bit. Second unit is compromised.

It’s amazing that someone thinks a player who is elite (not just good) at defense will be “nailed to the bench come playoff time.”

His tear drop looks pretty good though but I agree he needs to start dunking at the rim.

He should be dunking the ball all the time when he has a lane. The finger roll's use in the NBA is almost 0, you can count on one hand the amount of scenarios where it is the correct option for finishing at the rim. More times than not, it's just going to get swatted away.
