1.8/1.0 assists
0.9/1.0 steals

.508/.503 eFG%
25%/18% percentage of shots from the paint

Their shooting is the same. Carlos is a little more well rounded and definitely plays better defense.

We probably should have played him last year and kept him, but we didn't and we have a suitable replacement.
Are backup 2/3 fiasco over the past couple years can be blamed on Flip. He has never accepted the game of any backup at this position for Detroit. Reality is, unlike DMC, Delfino has turned into the player people thought he would be. A quality backup, streaky shooter, good D, and can play 3 positions. Delfino would never have developed in Detroit, but I have to bet Joe D isn't too happy about how this has gone down.

The upside, Joe has learned and is not letting Flip repeat the same crap with our current youngsters.
