Denis assets to this team are leadership and swagger. As far as his offensive game, he's a streaky outside shooter and he's got a decent runner/tear-drop shot. He needs to work at running the point better and getting to the rim more when we are in our half court sets. He has to stop forcing shots whether he's hot or cold. He lacks patience. He still has a bit of the mindstate that he's our go-to scorer fm last season IMO. Couldn't be more wrong. On defense, I don't see where all this talk is about him being a good defender comes from. Is it because he's fast and stays with his guy when we man-to-man our opponents? That's ok, but not that great because his man still gets off uncontested shots. He doesn't play his passing lanes as well as he did last year. How many passes has he intercepted this season? I bet its between 0 and 1. He's too passive and lets our opponents run their offense instead of trying to go for steals and forcing turnovers. This may get more fouls called for reaching, but its worth a try now and then. To summerize, he's only aggressive on offense. As our point guard and fearless leader, he should find ways to help us instead of just scoring.
