    Yep... This is his chance to do some damage for Doncic or James should ONLY one of them are on the floor. Take advantage of Lue's "let someone else beats us" strategy.

    honestly, for the first three quarters of last game, he was daring lebron and luka to beat him (and they mostly were).

    key for dalton is to be able to withstand the classic lue "find the iso advantage" offense. i know this is all part of his offensive genius philosophy (nevermind that despite having lots of good offensive players his teams have never been great on offense...), but you can bet your a** that when dalton is out there, he's going to look for him.

    if you want minutes; make a stand there. don't be norm powell's b****.

    Huge game from Dalton, we don’t win this if he doesn’t step up like that. 5-8 on threes for 19 points, good on him for continuing to stay ready not knowing which games he’ll play and which he won’t.

    Best looking stroke on the team. I feel so confident every time this dude lets it fly.

    DK, show us why we should not trade you. Terrific game rook!! Keep it up no matter how many mins you get.

    He's been fighting on the boards lately, it's a good sign. But he'll take a lot of time to learn to defend, if he gets there.
    Hope he continues to maximize this opportunity.
    The way our roster is shaped, anytime one of Luka, Bron, AR or Rui miss a game, he's the next man up with an expectation of getting double digits

    If we keep him, he could become our “Thunder” Dan Majerle.

    I hope he overcomes all of his obstacles and dark outside forces and carves out a nice career for himself.
