what do you guys think of him so far? i watched the first half of the cleveland game but that's it. it looks like he is on a bit of a shooting tear.

He looks good on offence. He shoots well and has a quick release, plus he's a good mover without the ball. Think he will improve over the season as he gels with the team better. Defensively he tries enough, but gives away a lot of silly fouls.

much more athletic than I expected. very happy to have him. should Bogie get hurt, I'd be very comfortable with Dougie starting.

Remember in the pre-season when some were worried that he wouldn't get used correctly..... well he's being used fine.

He could have a career year.

I'm fine with Doug for the money he's paid and the role he fills.

His defense is worse than I thought (lack of awareness, doesn't switch well, gives up pointless fouls)
His athleticism and movement off the ball are better than I expected (on a team like Warriors, I imagine he'd be deadly)

No one really defended well last night, or communicated for that matter. The question will continue to be, which kind of team are we. The one that communicates well in the 2 wins, or the one that doesn’t in the 2 losses.

Tbh iv'e actually thought he has been passable he's not good or bad on defense but he does enough on defense and has shown he can get some stops defensively at times he does commit silly fouls but imo he hasn't been too bad but if he goes long stretches without shooting then he can be a liability.
