I'm a DD supporter and I didn't even realize he was such a good playmaker but not only himself but for others. I knew he improved this season but it seems he was actually very decent. What really impressed me about him was how well he played throughout the playoffs, at least when you look at the stats. I really thought he would struggle significantly and he didn't. Other than his field goal percentage going down, which I think we all expected, he went up or pretty much stayed in the same in most other categories. His defense wasn't the greatest but as others have said Joe Johnson shot the ball just as well against Miami. I think we should all just give Joe Johnson some credit and just accept that he's actually a really good offensive player. Yes DD needs to maybe take away half of the long twos he takes and substitute them for threes or getting to the basket. yes DD needs to improve his D even though I don't think it's horrendous like others do. Yes he needs to continue to improve on his play making, ESPECIALLY when it comes to passing the ball to the roller in the pick and roll because he almost never does that. But he does a lot of good for our team and has improved on almost all his flaws, not by much but still. He's a very hard worker and is still very young so I have faith that he will continue to come back every year stronger at something he wasn't good at. Also compared to other shooting guards or just perimeter players in general, does anyone know where DD ranks in terms of his efficiency with the long twos he takes?
