After reading about him earlier in the season, I prayed he wouldn't suck because the 1 joke would be endless.
I think he's a good fit with the KPJ + Green backcourt. Playing next to Scoot Henderson showed how he fits as a smart, quick connective passer and cutter next to an on-ball scoring guard. On defense he guards 1-3, maybe 4 once he develops. I think he'll struggle a bit if he's immediately put into a pure on-ball PG role against NBA level defenders, but he checks a lot of boxes as a traditional PnR operator. Vision. Patience. Doesn't get sped up by defenders. Can make midrange/paint shots if the defense drops on him. His potential as both an on and off-ball playmaker is interesting and affords for some interesting lineups and action. The shot is shaky and could mitigate any offensive advantage he brings. The FT% is also worrying. But we've seen guys learn to shoot, and his form isn't broken. He can definitely boost his stock even more pre-draft since shooting can be fixed outside of live game situations. Pre-season, who would have thought that he'd be the first Ignite guy drafted ahead of Hardy?
I'd love to have him with the Brooklyn pick, but I'm not sure if he'll still be available at the 17th spot. Then again, I thought Al-P was going to go in the top 10 last draft so I really know nothing
Hopefully, he gets measured at the combine. He's listed at 6'6 by the G-league, while also being reported to be 6'7 and 6'8. Meanwhile, Jalen was listed at 6'6 by the G-League and got officially measured at 6'4 by the Rockets. So right now Dyson can be anywhere between 6'4 - 6'8 lol
@Clutch You said you have been following him a lot. He won't be there at 17.... he has a good shot going in the top half of the lottery, but on the off chance the Rockets trade down he could be in play. What is your view of him as a prospect?
I want to say Clutch had him 10th on his board on the Locked on Rockets Podcast (6-10 picks). https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podca...-spots-6-10-part/id1135563666?i=1000559085476 At 24 minute mark, @Clutch talks about Dyson Daniels.
Especially if he reaches most of his potential as a point wing that can play defense and be a decent shooter/scorer. A Green/Daniels/Jabari would be a great fit and still have a lot of potential. Green/Daniels/Banchero wouldn't be a great fit without tailoring the team as that's a lot of players who will need that ball in their hands, but still could be a lethal trio.
