I can't look forward to see Dario playing in the post season. Imho he is tailor-made for that kind of games, even starting from the bench if that will be the case.

I hope Saric could improve his 3pt% because this is a important part of todays' game, but I hope more we aren't try to convert him in a pure 3pts shooter like Ryan Anderson for example.

In that case, it's better to trade him elsewhere, because asking him only to defend the SF position and to shot 3s it's not using him properly and at his best.
You're not helping him so you're not helping the team.

In my opionion Saric has to be free to create for himself and for his teammates and he has to use his gritness to attack the paint.

He could and should be more than a 3&D type of player because he will never be a top 3&D player.

Having 3 dynamic players, Dario, Cov, and Ben, they can be used for better matchups between the 4 and 3 spots. Cov is the better perimeter player, but defending a 3 like Lebron, a bigger, stronger defender could be used like Ben or Dario. If Cov gets into foul trouble, Dario or Ben could be used, if Justin Anderson isn't big enough or does poorly, as the backup 3. Anyway, a lot of good options going forward.

Saric and Doncic today were best players on court, great all- around games from both.

Dont have stats.

Pretty incredible. Dario basically made every play for Croatia down the stretch.

Was kind of surprised how ordinary Dragic looked. He should be the best player on the court.

Saric looks like a mini Kevin Love against Slovenia. He had such a bad start last year but was improving rapidly. I'm really curious to see if he sustains that level of play next year and continues to improve. He'll be pretty good if he does.

Dario is such a fierce competitor. He is playing friendly games like they are olympic finals.

You can see he just hate to lose, doesnt matter how important is the game.
