Re: Welcome Matthew Dellavedova
Today was his first start in SL, and for part of the time, he was playing with a different rotation of players. I agree that he looked pretty weak going to the basket today. Looked pretty good on defense, including some savvy plays down the stretch. I think he is deferring too much, in part because Dion wants the ball. But he has some skills that suggest that he would be an upgrade on Quinn, which is the initial thing we need from him.
Interested to see if he gets heavy minutes going forward -- the Cavs took control of today's game (at least for awhile) with him on the bench for a lot of it.
Not impressed: has trouble getting off a shot against the interior defense when he drives and he blew some easy passes that a PG should be able to make like a lob to an open player on the break. I think he's been given more leeway from posters because his comparison has been the awful Quinn
