DD is who he is and you simply find very very few to turn around their fortunes in a single year the way he did and be forced to be THE GUY and THE leader.He was neither of those things, nor even close, his first 3 years. He was not all of a sudden going to be a strong physical player nor was he going to all of a sudden be strong with the ball. Personally, he had a much better year than I thought he was going to have..

Defensively is what cost them. Terrible perimeter defense on the 3 ball and even worse dribble penetration allowed.....That automatically improves, imo, this coming season....

I know he drained ME emotionally. I thought I also saw that on the court.

Agree on your other points. He made a huge leap jr year to sr year. He just has holes in his game that hurt us. DD clearly didn't sync up well with AM and staff and was a much better fit with AG and staff. Based on the large leap he made I'll always wonder what 4 years in AGs system would have done for him.
