He definitely looked good, 6/16 from the floor and 15/15 from the line is a hilarious stat line tho
Danny fills up the stat sheet in his second game (27 mins):
8 points (3/6 FG, 2/3 3PT)
10 rebounds
2 assists
3 steals
4 blocks
3 TO
5 PF
Much better showing, although still having a difficult time with the ball.

I know we disagree, but the assist/turnover ratio, to me, is going to be the thing to watch on Danny. I donāt know that heās a plus NBA defender (I think heāll be fine!), and I sort of doubt heās a plus NBA scorer (his interior finishing isnāt great, and he CAN shoot but heās not, today, a Turner/Holmgren level shooter (nor was he when they were his age) so the five-outness possibility here is a little squishy to me. Heās not the passing-hub type passer like a Jokic or Sengun or, to lower our gaze, draft-class mate Hansen Yang (ie, firing passes out of the post), he was mostly running ball-screens like a PG. Iām really curious to see if that aspect plays at the NBA level, as I think the degree to which it does or doesnāt is really going to be the determining factor of his success.
The good thing is that heās on a roster that doesnāt really have much to do other than see what Demin, Wolf, Traore, and Saraf can do. Now, all four of those guys want to play with the ball, but you have to think they all get their shot.
