@kjayhawks2.0 But when he does play D, his hands are so quick. The potential for steals are out there.
-
Alright! Great start!
-
DP was much better on the defensive side tonight, saw him getting steals, blocks and in position much more often. He isnt gonna need to drop 30 to keep us in the game if he continues to improve on that end. Same stuff I tell my 5th graders you can’t have one guy doing his own thing on defense. Everyone has to be working as a unit.
-
Yeah chemistry was still high when he is on the court last night for maybe the first time. Assumed it would happen given time as the other players adjust to DP, but good to see it actually play out. Still need to work on the defensive rebounding a bit but otherwise loving this team.
-
When he missed the dunk and crouched as though he was injured, I was a bit worried. Not sure if it was a knee or something else. But definitely glad to see him get up and be able to play through.
Not sure if his explosiveness has been diminished over the last game or so.
But even if he's not 100%, his presence keeps the other team honest on defense.
-
This was the first game he played in where he didn't have to be the best player. He was a bit cold from the field, but the others stepped up, especially our bench.
-
Last night was the first time we saw him try to throw the hammer down, the first one especially if that went in would have sent Allen Fieldhouse into a frenzy. His movement and athleticism has improved since the NC St/Mizz games. He appears to be trending forwardly health wise even if he hasn't finished a game yet.
Most importantly as others have mentioned, DP didn't have to be the best player on the court for them to win. This was absolutely a team win last night.
-
@BeddieKU23 The way he missed on that play, and we weren't given a replay, I almost wondered if it was a pass because the net result was a pass to the corner.
-
His 3ball hasn’t been falling lately but him trying to dunk on people is a welcome sight.

By the way, do you guys know Darryn turns 19 on Saturday?
