    Nate has often stated he wants him at SF but due to injuries he can't. Some tweeners can guard the taller of the two positions. Dante really can't.

    Find me a quote, because I've NEVER heard him say anything of the sort.

    It's sad that LA gets no calls.

    I think he can be a decent reserve for us.

    I've heard him say so many times in various interviews. Even recently on 1080.

    More like internet fanbase projecting our depth chart before we had the injuries. In theory DC could do well as a SF, considering his size and speed and ability to shoot, and we would've had a gigantic lineup (GO/Przy, LA/Camby, Batum/DC). That's another topic though.

    Ideal circumstances I suppose.

    At halftime, this would be a blowout to any decent team if we played like this.

    Since when is 0% spot minutes? Maybe spot minute, but that hardly qualifies him as filling in at the position.

    All due respect, but Dante can't dribble in traffic and he'd struggle like hell to guard a 2 or quick 3. Back in the day when Jerome Kersey was a small forward he might have been able to match up, but his skill-set is almost a pure pick n' pop 4, if he added a three point shot he'd be a classic stretch 4 in the mold of a guy like Vladamir Radmonovich.

    What does that even mean? If we played a different team, the match ups would be different. That team's effort would be different. It'd be an entirely different game.

    If they played this sloppy against a better team, they'd be down by more than 2 at half.
