Defense is our biggest issue right now, so I’m very happy they actually did something about it.

Dyson was arguably our second best defender on the team behind herb jones + Nance is a vet presence. Both were solid contributors for us

I love his floater when he gets it going. It will be a big turning point year for him if he can be energetic and focused. Will miss him more than most it seems lol

My man has an underrated dunk too! He’s still young and has time to continue to work his offense up to his great defensive level.

Dude is smart as hell too. Just young and needs the reps. Good sixth man candidate this year, if he could become a high 30s 3pt shooter he could be a starter soon.
