Our next stud we could write an @Eagle5 novel on. We’ve been through so much. From the #FreeDanjel campaign of which Denim was personally thanked, to the twitter attack on the hacks associated with a 3rd rate standardized testing regime, to the call to burn down their HQ as well as the AU AD. Young Danjel has been a polarizing figure for so long and continues to be.
A hulking youngster with the prototype NBA physique, Danjel sat squarely atop my ranks of sexy studs from 2015 through the beginning of last season. At that point he revealed himself as a terrible defender too reliant on an inconsistent 3 ball. Things only got worse as that rotten Saiz injured our star player and he was shelved for a couple weeks. The low point came when he was thoroughly abused by SEC POY Sindarius Thornwell. Things improved marginally from there but the book on Danjel was out. A total liability on D that was afraid of contact on both ends of the floor.
Strengths: NBA body and plus athlete for his size. Good shooter, particularly FREE THROWS.
Weaknesses: Plays soft. Has no comprehension of playing defense without fouling. Settles for outside shots instead of attacking.
Contribution: Undetermined. He’s the most likely to sit due the findings of the FBI report. Presumed starter at the 3 otherwise. I liked him a lot more at the 4 in theory but just too terrible on D and doesn’t play to his physique down low or on the glass. I fear he’ll be exposed by quicker athletes and his shot never seemed too consistent to me and that was with the wide open looks he got at the 4. Still, the potential is there and reports have been glowing this offseason that his shooting and willingness to attack have improved.
The GREG Ranking: #3
