DDV is playing awesome, so I'd like to see him crush the leaderboard.

He was too old at that point to be playing FIBA in the summer, and an 82 game regular season . Have to respect EF wanting to represent his country, but he signed a very lucrative contract. Overextending himself kept him from being the difference maker he was his first season as a Knick.

And even more importantly the culture fit. So much of this is having the right players around our stars and the right player for the way the coach wants to play the game. When DDV was in Milwaukee i always thought he played bigger than his size and was a really strong role player to have around Giannis. His progress was derailed by injuries and he had a couple years just being on the margins of the NBA and people forgot about him. Good recovery year in the right type of program at GS and noe an even better culture and system fit here and he has immediately outplayed his contract.
