    Does more to cause a W with a Zero than anyone else on the team @Os Trigonum

    So many clueless, impatient doubters here who needed something else to whine about.

    In just his 3rd game, DFS' lateral quickness hasn't fully returned, but he's making progress. He's slower than Tari, but is stronger and very good at using the arm bar to keep guys in front without getting a foul call.

    I think his hands are already back and he's off to a good start on the 3-ball. Let's hope that continues.

    Aside from shooting catch-and-shoot 3s, DFS is the opposite of Jabari and Tari on the offensive end because he knows his limitations and stays in his lane. Instead of being a youngster trying to build a reputation and career, he has nothing to prove. There is a reason Luka loves the guy to death.

    He also has a nasty streak this team needs. Nothing clownish like DB though.

    you're on a roll today with the takes. With how many peo[ple have been trying to do their own thing its a welcomed sight to see a guy play into his role

    I also see defenses not being able to exploit reed anymore.

    I'm not complaining about DFS .... he'll be fine.

    What I think is comical is the many posters on here who keep trying to pencil him in as a starter at one of the guard spots.

    Dude is a forward. Jabari's backup ...

    It's always the same idiots complaining about our players that don't know jack. It's like they got Turrets and they can't help themselves...except they don't have Turrets so they don't even have that excuse. Personally, super excited top have added DFS to our team, we're monstrous defensively with him, and Amen, and Tari, and Bari all available. Heck, I even forgot Okogie!

    Exactly, where some see redundancy, I see a wave after wave of hard nosed defenders, striking fear into opposing teams. DFS is a better defender than Dillon, without the craziness.
