This year he's playing like a guy thats had fun in the NBA for a few years, made $25mm or so playing probasketball and is hording up his paychecks to buy a beach house somewhere and get fat.He doesnt break down defenses and does very little to set up the offense. He brings up the ball and they pass it around the perimeter until someone jacks up a 3. Douglas or Nate can do that just fine.
There is none, zero, zilch doubt that Douglas is a rotation player in this league and a good one.
Anyone killing DW for taking him over Blair or anyone can chill out. Douglas can play. He can score (he could ALWAYS score) and he is a bigtime defender. He's a great combo of quickness and power and has enough length to challenge shots. He reminds me a lot of the Chris Childs we THOUGHT we were getting when we signed him from the Nets.
Duhon looks slow, he has trouble finishing on a drive (when he does decide to go to the basket), and he seems to be passing the ball like he is a rookie PG.
I don't think MDA will pull him immediately, but the only way this team will accomplish anything this year is if Duhon gets limited (or none at all) minutes on the floor.
