Dunleavy has been better McDermott so far...Doug is still adjusting hes not ready to be a starter
i think its best we keep Dun for now unless we are getting a upgrade
Dunleavy is definitely outplaying McDermott by a ton, but part of me thinks his job is slightly easier on the offensive end. The way I see it, Dunleavy gets more clean looks playing off of the guys like Gasol, Rose, and even Butler. McDermott is playing off Taj (who seems to be a black hole) and Aaron Brooks and as a result doesn't quite shots that are quite as easy. Now at the same time, Doug had good looks yesterday...he air balled an open corner 3..he's gotta make those, but I think when Doug plays the best, he's playing with Gasol and Rose in the game. I think his only basket last night came off of a Gasol pass.
I think the same was true of Korver when he was here. When it was the bench mob playing and Korver was just running off of screens on every possession, he didn't make as many shots as he did when he was with the starters and just reacting to Rose's drives.
Moral of the story, Doug still needs some work, but if he gets rotated in such that he's playing with the starters, he may be able to develop more of a rhythm because his shots will be easier.
Dunleavy's been playing really well though, definitely got to give credit where credit is due.
