    I like that loose balls and errand rebounds seem to come to him when he's in the game. Otherwise all those 50/50 balls seem to go to the other team (and not just go them always seem to end up in an easy score some how)

    went scoreless, but he played some good D on Tatum or Porzingis

    Not a box score guy but he does the dirty work. You need a guy like this to actually compete, especially in the playoffs.

    I love this guy, I didn’t even realize he was scoreless until very late or maybe even after the game. He has an impact in so many other ways.

    He is exactly the player this team needs. I don't care how much he scores when he impacts the game like this. A three here and there certainly helps though.

    How does he always seem in a right spot? Loose balls, rotation help, need an outlet. Oh look it's DFS

    He plays winning basketball, it’s a reason why his +/- is so good over the course of many games

    Such a perfect fit with the starting group.

    Whole new definition to "help" defense

    DFS just gets defence. His awareness is hard to teach but mainly it’s his basketball IQ. It’s a reason why Rui, who has all the physical traits necessary, just doesn’t make a big impact on that end of the floor.
