    A defensive highlight video of DLO in a pre- season game. I didn't have that on my bingo card.



    If he's willing to give that attention to detail and effort and can shoot anywhere close to how he is now... man! It's going to be a special year for DLO.

    The floating fade J in that pic was nice


    Good interview. Talks his approach, defense, TP, Cam, and Christie


    Here's the line that's getting the attention

    mirrors what he said in his presser about Cam

    From snitch to a team leader. The growth and maturity on display from DLO is great to see considering where we started. Really looks like every single facet of his game is at an all time high.

    No clue how long he'll be able to ride this heater, but it's going to be a fun ride.

    I know everyone has AD, Lebron and Reaves as the top 3 but if DAR can make that 3rd spot debatable between him and AR... we'll be in a very good spot this season.

    Thats a dangerous backcourt and frontcourt, throw in a hustle/do everything else player like Prince or Vando... boom

    bench units have rui or wood as a focal scoring option standing in for AD or lebron, and at least two of those 4...

    he's right. we should be good.

    Health permitting, we should be very competitive this season. Less angry mornings for me is always welcome.

    So glad he’s finally giving effort on D. He’s always been a solid shooter and hype man for his teammates. It looks like this may be the season where he finally puts it all together.
    My favorite thing about his game- his poise in the tight spots on the floor.

    I’m glad he finally shaved that awful Troll Doll Receding Mop up top.
    Either way, his game is correct.

    Ahah yeah super random.
    I'm a big fan of Derrick. That trade isn't talked enough, C Bags got him and Brogdon for nothing

    Also tells a lot about Dlo maturity and understanding of the game to name someone so low-profile but impactful. I'm really loving him this year

    both of those trades really pissed me off, particularly the white trade, which really bailed the C Bags out, imo.
