Giddey with 2nd poor game in a row.
2/9 shooting including 1/5 from deep.
Hopefully he can stop the rot soon.

 

[Royces Hart]

Another massive game by Dyson.
25 pts, 2 blocks & another 6 steals!

Trump is going to deport him if he keeps stealing like that.

His ability/willingness to get his shoulders past and attack the basket is something we haven’t seen from an Australian in the NBA.

Not from an Australian who is able to string more than 3 games in a row without another injury, anyway.

Yeah, I love the way he goes about it. It's not just how good he is, it's the whole way he plays. It's pure.

Daniels manager come contract time

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

Daniels manager come contract time

He'd be looking at 5/150 on present form.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Josh Green finally with a good game on his birthday in a 1 pt win.
15 pts and 3 steals. Also 5 assists, 5 rebs & 3/4 from deep.

Highlights only:

Would it be a stretch to say Dyson is the best Aussie basketballer in the world right now? Seems to be pretty consistent with these kinds of impressive numbers.

Comfortably our best.

Crazy how not that long ago there were questions over whether he was in the best Boomers 12.

To be fair, he was given no opportunity to show anything on the offensive side of the ball when he was with the Pels. He had 3.5 FGA and 5.1FGA in his two years there. Was very worried he was going to be "just" another defense only player like Thybulle, Green and now Simmons.

You can only play so many players that can't/won't shoot.

Good to see him get to stretch himself. Currently up to 13.1FGA this season.

Not disagreeing with any of that, just marvelling at the improvement. Is in both DPOY and MIP conversations.
