Dyson Daniels

What’s so Great about the Barrier Thief? Well, how about the highest steal rate since Tony Allen in 2015? How about a huge jump in his 2-point efficiency and overall impact?

Dyson Daniels still isn’t a floor spacer but he more than makes up for that with his ability to wreck opponent handles. He’s instant offense by way of forcing turnovers and has flashed some improving playmaker skills as well with few opportunities next to Trae Young.

Atlanta’s still stuck between versions of itself but Dyson’s play has made a strong argument for just committing to a youth movement built around defense and athleticism.
