GG and Aldama are better than Deni already as 3pt shooters and very soon, if not already, overall.


Deni is a better defender can guard all 5 positions and is a better playmaker. His shooting has come along and I trust his IQ over both our guys. GG if he keeps this up and adds defense he can be a true core piece.


I agree on Deni’s positive skills. I rather concern with his shooting skills. His shooting mechanic looks everything but natural and smooth which differs him GG, Vince, and Aldama. Lack of shooting and stretching is a red-flag to me. We have Smart and Vince as outstanding playmakers-defenders. While it is nice to have another one, I don’t believe it should be our priority, what we are looking for. Neither I believe he is better than Aldama or GG.

Don't worry. You won't be acquiring Deni in a trade.

It would be win-win. He is a very good player who would get a better role and opportunity in Washington.
