One of the topics we discussed now and again is this staffs ability to develop talent. Case in point, DJ.
I recall before the season even started when Joe was talking about what kind of player he believed DJ would ultimately become.
Could he do more things than just dunk? Obviously there have been games where he's disappeared with foul trouble for the inability to make a difference in the game.
During the last three games, I believe we are beginning to see the player that we recruited. He has incredible instincts, certainly athletic, but he's really beginning to learn the game and defensively he's improving every single game.
More than his ability to dunk the ball, I am most excited about the development of his defense, and his instincts around where to be the most effective on the floor.
