    What was prime DMo?
    Like 14 and 6??

    He'd be lucky to get minutes if he was on this team (in prime mode). I say he would be in the stay ready squad.


    Also, game has changed anyway, he was way too slow to guard the perimeter, unplayable defensively.

    *edit - my bad, he was 12-6 in his prime season*

    The real question is would he be allowed to eat at the same table as Sengun and Adams

    He would give a scoring boost off the bench, but he wouldn't be able to defend well enough. A 7th man role at best.

    He is a tad younger than Bron and Harden.

    Yeah, it felt like his NBA career was shortened but I have the hunch it was not because of that back injury.

    He played like 2-3 weeks after it but the NBA ship has sailed.

    Meanwhile Valanciunas and Sabonis have carved out a nicer career.

    I actually have a Dmo jersey in my closet. I loved his game. I still remember the game he had against the pelicans where he dominated before we went out do to injury and basically never came back.

    Alpi is a better athlete and has better post moves. Dmo was a better three point shooter. Alpi is developing into a better defender. Dmo was never as good as his country man JV as much as it pains me to say and JV is literally still in the NBA playing.

    If he was the same age as Jabri I would say he would be slightly worse than him. He would struggle to get minutes on our current team.

    That’s like saying Christian Wood is Giannis with a jump shot.
