I recently read an article discribing Dyess having some problems to adjust to Saunders' new offensive system.
His FG% is down as never before, he isn't scoring a lot and also his others numbers aren't as good as last season.
Is he getting old or do you think it's only going to take time?

I agree, something's up. If he continues to play this pourly, I say we give Darko a shot at the 15-20mpg big man position. It's not like Darko can't brick 20 footers like Dice has been. At least Darko will block some shots while he's in there. Now if only he could rebound

at least, if Dyess' offensive productions remains stagnant, the could share, so that Dyess plays about 12- 14 minutes and darko 8-10.
Dyess remains solid on the boards, but so far, he hasn't blocked many shots- something Darko could provide.
On the other hand, Darko's wack on the boards.
But that seems to be another story

I'm concerned too, but i know he can hit that shot he keeps missing very well i don't know what's up with him but i think he'll start playing better soon.

i understand flip trying to get mcdyess going. we know he can hit the shot i don't think age or the knees have anything to do with it. i think maybe in flips offense mcdyess is getting the ball in a spot he isn't comfortable shooting. he really likes that baseline jumper but he's getting his shots mostly at the elbow. to fix this him and arroyo need to run he pick and roll and get dice shots where he likes them to get him going when he comes in the game.

i agree it may be time to up darko's minutes. i don't understand why everyone is so hard on darko about rebounds. sheed isn't a great rebounder but nobody complains about him. yes darko needs to get more aggressive on the boards. but i believe with more minutes darko will put up decent rebounding numbers. a lot of times darko loses rebounds he needs to be in the game and learn how to protect the rebounds he does get.

sometimes, I'd wish Dyess to be able to get as aggressive to the basket as in the old days with his healthy knee.
At the start of last season, he was on #1 inm FG' for about 10- 15 games. What exactly changed? I mean, he took the same shots as this season, where is the huge difference between the shots he took last season and those from this one?
Sheed isn't a great rebounder, but solid- solid enough, let's say it like that.
Darko is a little bit taller and seems to be quite ineffective, especially on the defensive end. A center at his size should be able to get about 9- 10 rebs/game (with a raise in minutes). This far, I can't see him capable of doing that if he'd be a 35- 40 mpg player.

that's exactly what i was going to say

I am not worried about Dyess - he will get going. Still looks sharp as ever his shots are not falling. Seems to be taking them longer than usual for some reason.

Darko will be happy this year with his 5-10 MPG as long as its consistant. He may play more as the season goes on and Flip starts experimenting with using a front-court guy as a backup 3. Just that during a winning streak you do not want to change anything. This really is like DArko's rookie year as he has to make up for 2 years of almost nothing.

I thought last year that we got a steal signing Dyess.This year so far he look's like he's lost his shooting touch and can't find it.The question is do we let him keep all his minutes while he look's for it.Though call on that one.I think he should cut back on his shot's if he's not hitting and try to contribute in other ways.Hope his ego is not to big to let him do that.Otherwise cut his minutes until he starts producing again.Put him on a short leash.We don't need to lose games trying to let him shoot his way out of it with all the other talent we have on the bench.
