Great thread...
I know the 3 been largely missing, but god damn keep shooting... that dribble feels like a turnover 50% of the time
Great thread...
You mean he shoots the 3, then sprints back on D because the long rebound has the other team running?I know the 3 been largely missing, but god damn keep shooting... that dribble feels like a turnover 50% of the time
I like Danny, but so far this season that's been pretty much his game.
Danny embodies 3 & 0, 3 more strikes and he is out.
I love his defense, he's always aggressive on that end. It's just that the offense for the starters has forced him to "create" for himself, and it's been pretty ugly so far...
your avi gets me every time
At some point in the game, with Patty hesitating, and all memphis defense aware that manu was on fire, a few posessions ended in Dannys hands for him to create.....I know the 3 been largely missing, but god damn keep shooting... that dribble feels like a turnover 50% of the time
Oh my god!! i dare say i prefer green to shoot the 3 with someone in his face than for him to drive.
The guy cannot dribble the ball 5 times without loosing the handle
I wouldn't mind him trying to take a few into the paint so much, if he wasn't 1-7 from the arc.
Manu has always gotten by with some ugly , because he produces enough to more than make up for it. Danny always did the same kid of thing by making a bunch of 3 pointers. If Danny was knocking down 3's, the occasional turnover wouldn't be so bad. But he's been responsible for a lot of dry possessions, and I think more of them have come from his missed 3's than from his poor ball handling.
I rather he keeps shooting (and potentially missing)... those turnovers really hurt, since it's hard for the team to get back in transition which has been a problem...
Obviously, I would prefer he starts making them...
I mentioned this already in preseason and Chinook was giving me a hard time and telling me it was for the better. Danny has passed up so many wide open shots because of the dribble and hes a lot more hesitant now because he thinks drive or three instead of just three.
The dude needs to stop thinking about drives too much.
Well, , that's a good point. I still have a lot more hope every time I see him line up a 3, than I do when I see him start to dribble. He's a 3P specialist, and I guess he's got to jack them up when he's open.
He's pretty much Bruce Bowen with less discipline but a greater variety on his 3's.
Right now kawhi is the most dependable three pointer. Embarraing for Green and Mills. They need to be that guy.
OP is in a posting slump, first the debunked Kyle Anderson analysis and now this. Honestly, i think he'll be okay. Much like danny he just needs to keep posting his way through it.
It won't be long before Fathead passes up gy Green
Danny is a good 3pt shooter who needs to be in rhythm, reminds me of Brent Barry in that regard, and he's really good on transition defense (really good) and paired with KL probably the best backcourt defense in the game. He has a lower basketball IQ than we need from him however. His situational awareness is lacking, but I compare him to Manu and Boris and that's like comparing a good chess player to Kasparov and saying he has weak openings.
Id be okay with him providing half of what Manu does for the bench. One step at a time.
I'm not comparing, because it's unfair. I also don't think it's all on Danny... the starters offense has really forced some players to get out of their usual roles, and obviously some are better at that than others.
something to talk about instead of the playerfan circlejerk, tbh...
Danny has indeed been pushed out of his comfort zone. Dare I say in that Wizards game, the 4th Q collapse involved Danny as much as Tony and Patty and the failed defense on the Wiz last posession. I think Danny needs a structure and set plays to shine. He needs to know where his shots are coming from and have chemistry with guys to spot up and be ready. He hasn't really been able to catch a rhythm like we know he can, and has been prone to try to do too much. I don't mind him moving the ball, and its better for him to have counters and such to his 3 ball being taken away. The problem is that his counters have turned into his game pretty much, and that is where he's weakest.
Manu indeed covers up a lot for Danny, between closing out Q and games.
Lets be honest, at times even RAsual has looked better than Danny this season, just bc Rasual is not prone to trying to do too much and make mistakes passing or dribbling.
I love Danny though, but his best and truly elite aspects are 3-D indeed.
Danny's 3 ball defense is top notch. He's been able to keep himself from getting in any kind of rhythm and forcing lots of turnovers when he puts the ball on the floor.
On the plus side, his passing looks to have improved
Remember when someone said players couldn't dribble in the old days and posted that Danny Green was a better ball handler than every player from the 60s & 70s? That was the worst basketball take I've ever read-- Danny Green a batter ball handler than Earl Monroe or Pete Maravich??
him dribbling gives me the creeps every time ... did he ever dribble more than last night?
Somebody should tweet Greens sorry ass and tell him to take all that off his hands.. Shoot it like a man.
