Is Dyson an All Star right now?

I don't think DD makes it into the All Stars as a Guard, but he might have a shot as a Forward.

Giannis, Tatum, Mobley, Wagner are in. He just needs to beat out a guy like Siakam.

Hawks should start listing DD as a SF.

His offense will need to keep progressing to have a shot.

DD is at 15ppg right now. If he can get it up to 17ppg, you can make an argument on why he should get it over Siakam.

Might be though this year but every indication is that he will get better. All-star is attainable based on what he's showing

He's already there on D and O is starting to improve

I do believe it's going to be attainable , just not this year. He's 21 years old and I'm just glad he's a Hawk.

Buying a DD jersey is on my things to do list.

To all Hawk fans, he is right now!

:banghead:

To all non-Hawk fans, probably not even close. After all, he plays for Atlanta.

He better be an All-Star if he's playing like this when the All-Star weekend gets here. He's a Coaches dream.

Bill Simmons recently called Dyson a cross between Scottie Pippen and Kawhi Leonard...

That would be amazing!

I wonder if he'd have been drafted higher in 2022 had he stayed home and played in the NBL as opposed to coming over with the G-League Ignite.

We now have an entire continent rooting for this kid's emergence. Dyson makes a much better ambassador for Aussie Basketball than Ben Simmons or Josh Giddey.

He'll definitely get a bump in All Star Voting from fans down under. Similar to when Yao Ming played for the Rockets.

He seemed to be respected by being selected 8th overall. The 1-7 picks will be in the league for however long they want to be.

8th exceeded my expectations at the time. My focus was Shaedon Sharpe but he went too high as well.

I think Dyson is already a better player and prospect than old a** Keegan Murray.

In a redraft, DD might go top-5 behind only Chet, Paolo, Jalen Williams and Tari Eason.
