I would like to see a game that features Dick in the half court. We should use his gravity and momentum along with Olynyk's passing ability.

One guy had a difficult job understanding that I said choosing his last 5 games as a sample size was cherry picking data in order to mock people.

His 2 point game hurt his 5 game averages..who would of thought.

i wish the other guys would actually look for him in his spots instead of treating Dick as a weak 5th option when all other options are blocked. i can only assume that darko wants it that way for some reason, i guess because he's a rookie and we're tanking, but it kinda sucks

Gradey actually has a pretty good drive and kick game, he knows where and when to make the right pass. He's actually one of a rare breed to take a few dribble in and be thinking ahead on where to kick it out quickly and accurately. He's not penetrating deep, but drives in order to pass. Chris Boucher or Gary Ballhog could/would never. Dick did it several times last game and frequently got it to people who were open or scrambling to defend. Watch for it in future games when he gets the ball.

He has a good head on those shoulders. He just plays the game the right way. Just needs to work on the executions.

I think Gradey is going to develop a hell of a mid range game to be honest. The gravity of his 3 point shot, using movement to get open a bit for that, attacking close outs where he will either be able to shoot mid range, get to hoop or make the right pass will make him dangerous. His ability to pull up mid range will open up things towards the hoop for him as well.

Gradey is going to be a fine scorer, his awareness, decision making and skill level is already there. He just needs to get better conditioning.

Best story that doesn't get enough love is Darko's work with Bane. A lot of similarities here with Gradey receiving the drive and dishes for shots.

Once Gradey gets stronger, he'll be able to advance to the next stage and get through those PnR's and develop a mid range game and finish at the hoop a lot better.

I don't know if it's just the highlights I've been watching, but Gradey D looks like one of the best players on the Raptors when it comes to defensive rotations and when to help and rotate.

Compared to the other young guys like Agbaji, who seems to be lost in transition defense or pick-and-roll switching.

He just needs some size and strength. He's been solid on defense.

People just **** on him because .. insert*white guy shooter stereotype*

I agree. Simply stereotype. He's also a decent athlete.
