Message: [QUOTE="QUSE, post: 1778091, member: 4628"] Even with my orange glasses on he's the worst at finishing layups. He can get to rim at ease but he can't finish to save his life, it's truly mind-boggling considering how physically strong he is. He's not a spot-up catch n shoot guy and never will be, so he won't make those corner threes consistently, which seems to be his only offensive assignment when Westbrook and Durant are on the court. Like the other poster has pointed out, he doesn't have the ball enough to shoot himself out of the slumps like he did first 2 year at Cleveland so his percentages have dipped big time. Defensively he's a tremendous on-ball defender that can guard 1-3 and even occasionally switching on 4; off-ball he's average at best. He has poor spacial awareness and anticipation for movement that he often lost his guys when he turned his back on them. I honestly don't know why they don't let Dion drive and dish, Durant catch and shoot, and Westbrook cut and attack more, seems to utilize all three's strengths, instead of those two take turns going one on one at the perimeter, while the other three guys stand and watch and occasionally have to step up and clean up the garbage as clock runs down. By the fourth quarter their two superstars are exhausted and turn into turnover machines, and the other guys have no offensive rhythms whatsoever. They have the pieces to get it done but they need to get everyone involved more, and I don't see how Durant can improve his chance of winning unless he goes to the Spurs. With the new cap space I can see Dion getting around $12 million/year, wouldn't be surprised if he gets more. Not sure he would stay though. [/QUOTE]
