Yeah. I'm not quite ready to throw in the towel completely with Dalton. I feel like his confidence is shot but he can get that back. I agree that he's shown he can produce in the league so I'm okay with some patience there. If the right deal comes along then sure, trade him. But I'm fine with us trying to develop him some more.
It would be a better problem to have if he actually played good. I mean Kyle Filipkowski just won summer league MVP here (he's 21 and a second round pick) - this is the level that DK put up a load of turd in
Yeah, it's bad because his play is validating the knocks on him from the draft. Streaky shooter with pretty bad defensive awareness and limited ceiling due to age and lacking bball IQ. Teams hold onto their priors for years even if a guy plays well in the league. Dalton is struggling the exact way a lot of teams expected him to struggle.
This is a tough one. That'd be another waste of a recent draft pick. Keep him. Hope he builds back his value by the trade deadline. But as it stands now, I'm trying to see a place where he could get consistent time on the roster during the season to build his value back? IDK.
welcome to most of the nba. we've been spoiled for a while because we kept finding late first/early second rounders that stuck in the league, but on average, most of them do not.
