I can't see him getting better/more comfortable/more intuitive without more playing time and the ability to play through a mistake or two.

I wish he had more Zach Randolf in his game: just catch and go up immediately with the ball, even without making a move to turn fully to the basket. Dajuan seems to be stuck on choreography. Every possession seems like he's just learned a dance sequence: a ONE and a two and three and four... He's already in close, but he takes so much time to get a shot up that defenders swarm him. And they know going in that he's susceptible to being defended late in his own possession of the ball.

I wish I could work him out with drills where he never dribbles. Catches with the back to the hoop and just twists as he elevates. Period. He had a 'successful' move yesterday when he dribbled and then pivoted and concerted, but like all of his moves, it's like he feels he will improve if he can make those sequence moves QUICKER. Like a guitar player learning licks.

Hope his minutes aren't health-related. After an early hook yesterday, I was watching for JB's attitude/reaction as DC approached the bench. JB actually looked 'sympathetic.' Which may not bode well.
