OK lets say his is average in strength. Have you seen anybody else land on the floor after little contact during drives to the basket as much as Dante? He is pretty much knocked on the floor 9 out of 10 layup attempts. Is this weakness or lack of coordination? Coordination is part of overall athleticism as well and Dante sometimes looks like uncoordinated muppet doll.

I think that's an exaggeration but he does get out of control at times on drives I wouldn't argue that. It also helps him get to the line more often since he's drawing more contact than any of our other perimeter players do so I don't really think it's an issue, and I don't think it's a knock on his athletic ability at all.

I don't think he's an elite athlete by NBA standards but I do also think that Jazz fans downplay his really elite attributes like his elite 1st step, his elite size and length for the PG position and his, in my opinon, elite lateral quickness on defense because he can look weak/uncoordinated at times, has pretty average at best vertical athleticism and he looks like he's gassed after 20 seconds of playing all the time.

These stats are completely out of context for me. I started reading what they actually mean and went down a multi-site rabbit hole of convolution. I'm not saying they are or aren't legitimate, but we don't even know the context of what they are trying to say, or what they are counting.

There's a gigantic Rudy Gobert halo that also needs to be considered. Anyone who plays with him is getting boosts in a lot of ways that are and aren't accounted for with statistics.

Actually it's a Joe Ingles halo.

Yes did u see the poster dunk against the 76ers? And how fast his jump was? Your just hater let's be honest. Your another one in this forum that says Donovan is faster than Dante lol

Poster dunk? The one he barely elevated with nobody around him and almost got stuffed by the rim? That dunk was so weak and would not even call it a dunk.

I think u are associating athleticism solely with verticality?
I understand in basketball parlance that is the primary way we think of it..
But athleticism is also, first step, speed. And please, get over those predraft combine numbers. Look at his DNA - his sister was freakishly gifted too.
