DJ is great on defense. He hustles, moves his feet, rebounds outside his area, and anticipates well. It seems like all that, which is incredibly valuable, is either not recognized or ignored by many in our fanbase.
On offense, his shot is 17ing broken. Straight up broken. No sugarcoating it. With that said, he ends up with the ball late in the shot clock way more frequently than anyone should. Its actually odd to see how often he is passed the ball on the perimeter with less than 7 seconds. So he throws up a lot of shots to beat the clock. That doesnt account for all, or even most, of his poor shooting though.
I am actually OK with him taking set 3pt shots early in the shot clock when they come in rhythm and he is open. We get the chance for a long rebound and when the team shoots 28% from deep, I dont see much downside to a 25% shooter taking an early open shot. Its almost no different from the team average. Shockingly, DJ has a slightly higher 3pt% than Moore.
If DJ initiates the offense, I am good with it. If he helps lead the defense, I am good with it.
I just dont want him driving to the rim from outside the 3pt line or on a fast break. Its like he ends up with a charge 50% of the time when he starts from beyond the arc.
