Is this the years DM finally sheds

He was clearly hurt the first couple months, Troll. From January 1 on, his efficiency was great, hitting at about 43% from 3.

Looks like this excuse was also empty ********. 21 games in, DM has regressed to the mean. He's back to a horrible .537 ts%, and his assists/36 have taken a noticeable hit as well. Shooting that poorly on high volume kills winning. Plus, he's not the only shot creator anymore so all you using the Carmello Anthony defense for inefficiency have been exposed.

Here's to hoping DM can turn it around. Who knows.

FWIW, yes. Dude was better overall last season and turned on the jets towards the end. Utah doesn't go apesnot in the off season unless they felt he be a bit more of "The Guy" for the team. Regardless, he's the first true #1 option on Utah that I could recall for a long, long time. Dude can hit anyway, create his own shot at will, and is now surrounded by players who compliment his style, including a legitimate #2 guy (or #1a) in Conley to take the pressure off.

DM isn't a true #1 option. Far from it. He can get A shot off anytime he wants but he cannot create a GOOD, high % shot anytime he wants. He is playing like fringe or maybe as high as a c rate All Star.

Hate to say it, but this thread is officially super valid.
