I've become a big fan of Dick this year.

You should wear an I heart Dick shirt to the arena.

He's had a few lackluster games since you posted this.

Yeah he's been pretty clearly dealing with dead legs /exhaustion.

Guy is constantly moving around screens and just isn't strong enough yet to fight over them without exerting a ton of energy. With all the Raptors guys being injured he was made a focus of the defense.

I also noticed him running out of gas at times. At that point it's the coach's job to grab him and give him a blow.

He's running out of gas because he has 0 ball handling and is too weak to create space most of the time. Just part of the developmental process.

Hopefully that happens more often, you don' want to see Dick getting cut because of fatigue.

I think anyone who can score the points he has at the NBA level has some ball handling ability. I'd rate him at a 3 or 4 out of 10 in the NBA. You gotta put the ball on the floor to drive for a layup and you need some ball handling to get to your "spot" for a jumpshot.

He's been pulling more gravity but hasn't been able to leverage that for his team. If he had a handle he could make defenses collapse very easily.

Disagree... if you can't even bring the ball up the court without getting stripped, you're not a good ball handler. I don't wanna seem like I'm knocking him because he's been one of the few reasons to care about Raptors basketball.

It's just a major weakness for a guy who's only real strength is scoring at the moment. I'm sure he'll tighten his handles and getting stronger in general will help against defenders who try to bully him right now.
