I’m sold with him on 3nD. We need playmaker and D on 2nd unit.
He’s played really well the past 2 games, especially tonight. Night and day from his first couple games in Silver & Black. He’s our best wing defender right now and if he starts knocking down his open 3’s with some regularity, he could be huge for us. Still need to see more though tbh. Don’t want to overreact just a couple games.
Just to be clear, tonight he was 15pts/7reb/2ast/2blk/1stl in 37 mins on 5/8 (63%) FG, 3/5 (60%) 3PT, 2/2 FT.
A lot of pleasant surprise this season. Like Xmas morning when you expected people have forgotten about you
More games like this please. Didn’t just shoot corner either, solid cuts and 3s from other spots
Sent Poeltl's ass back to the Eastern bloc and the Spurs went on a winning streak when he started. Coincidence? I think not.
It's clear they're grooming him for more. He's learning at an astronomical pace.
can't really argue with that.
By a mile...
That dude needs more development for sure. But he's got size and speed, and is pretty young/raw. He can be somebody in a year or two.
DC getting accustomed to his place, confident in his contribution
Franciso Elson with an occasional 3 pointers
high Bball IQ player
I really like what he has shown for the past few games. Great energy and effort with veteran presence.
I want to be on board...but have been burned before...

Careful. Someone might think you dropped the troll schtick and gave a passing compliment for PATFO.
Can he dribble better than Danny Green??
Gonna come down to him hitting threes. He sets a very good tone on D, but he's also had the benefit of going against combo-forwards the past few games. Those are the players he athletically matches up against. Not sure how he'll fare on a true three or four. Doncic didn't have a ton of trouble once the Mavs started giving him the ball. Dante can still be a plus on that end if he keeps rebounding and helping out his teammates, but in those cases, him being able to do something on offense becomes more important. The garbage man dunks will be there with effort and chemistry. The threes are a windfall. Can't expect him to shoot 60 percent every game, but something like 35 percent on decent attempts feels necessary.
NOP ran one big who often doesn't play to his size in Davis and two smaller PFs. It was a perfect match-up for Cun. Orlando has Isaac and Gordon, and they are probably guys Cun can guard okay. Then you have Miami, Houston, Sacramento and Phoenix, who all play small. LAC plays small with Gallo and Harris, but they also have three centers who get minutes. It's not until Memphis, two games after that LAC game that the Spurs play a team that unambiguously plays big in Memphis. Then it's another seven games until the Spurs get to Utah, who oscillates between starting Favors and Crowder. They play a two-game series against LAL in betwen Jazz games.
That's all a fancy way of saying that Dante should be able to start against almost every team for the remainder of the first half of this season. Not sold that Cunningham/Gay is a great forward combo, but Pop doesn't seem interested in breaking that up.
Damn that’s good, solid players everywhere... and tyler hansborough
