He's also a good ball handler when necessary and has shown he can play tough defense without getting into foul trouble, and he can block shots, is sneaky fast, and can even rebound with the big boys. The perfect addition to the team. His quiet, humble demeanor fits the chemistry of the team and can be overlooked because he's "everywhere and nowhere", so he's hard to keep track of by the other team. It'll be interesting once we get Randall back because he always demands a double-team (or he'll drop 40+ on you) and Brunson can too. They can't double-team everyone on the floor, so Divo should get even more looks as he endlessly works at getting open and ready with his hair trigger finger to get the shot off.

If Brunson ain't playing, he is option 1-3, give or take 1 or 2.

I think even when Randle comes back DDV can be our 3rd option. This opportunity has given him a nice runway to replace some of the offense we lost with Quickley/ Barrett.

When it was down to 4 without Brunson, you gotta appreciate the moxie as he clearly took it upon himself to take over while most of the team was kind of running around confused.

Deuce is still learning but up double digits in the 4th the game becomes mathematical. Play D, use the clock. Its only a matter of a few buckets, but I think we rushed through a couple of our sets and let them get fast baskets off of long misses.
