A good defender. Exciting dunks. A bit inconsistent on 3s, but improving. He can hit free throws now too. You got a good player at a great price! Love your team, btw. Good luck!

I’m happy to hear he can defend because otherwise his stats aren’t huge at least yet in his career. Seems like he’s a class act as well with a cool underdog story.

He's the best athlete in the NBA imo. He's definitely a useful player on a good team, the bottleneck really is his shooting. Coming into last season Spo said DJJ was the hardest worker and had put in a lot of hours to improve his game over the offseason. That was why it was a little disappointing that his 3pt shooting never really came around.
He played a bench role for us until we got Crowder and Iggy which is when Spo fazed him out. I still like him and I don't think you guys paid an unreasonable amount. He's still only 23 and has a lot of room to grow so I think that potential is worth something. I still remember a game I attended in person last season vs the Blazers. Carmelo and DJJ got into a back and forth during the game and DJJ got the better of the matchup. Definitely think that he's an upgrade over Melo.
