Donte Divincenzo 2019-2020 Outlook

[CORTEz 986]

All those saying he's trash....

13.3 ppg / 2.3 threes / 4.3 boards / 2.6 assists / 2.3 steals / 1 TO over his last 3 games.

I'll gladly take the PPG / 3PM / and 2.3 Steals with only 1 T/O.

[NBA_OG 514]

The kid is solid. Anyone with Middleton should pick him up for sure. 

[CORTEz 986]

It probably won't happen, but starting to ponder whether they'd consider starting him once Middleton comes back and kicking Wes Matthews out of the starting unit.

He's defensively better than Wes...but they might stick with Wes due to his history and experience of being a starter.

Wes shooting 32% from 3point range.  Ragu shooting 42%.  I think thats going to be a huge factor in whether he starts when middleton returns

He's better at everything than Wes lol. He should definitely be starting. 

[DezedandConfused 2,165]

Brogdon replacement found as the new 6th man when Middleton returns

[Lob City99 109]

Will he continue to get minutes with Middleton back?

[CrockPot 48]

Yes, but I don't see how he maintains the same amount of minutes unless other injuries come into play.

Only path to minutes is if he overtakes Wes Matthews and gets some of his minutes

[pduce242424 376]

Another Bucks blowout, so tough to evaluate. But, what do people think about his value moving forward now that Middleton is back. Looks like he’s hovering around 20 minutes, although games haven’t been close, so it’s hard to get a read on what his PT will be. 

[Lifschitz 2,246]

He moved to the bench, he’s more of a deep league guy for now unless Wesley Matthews goes down. 

The point of the wait and see approach was to see if he could cede Matthews when Middleton returned, but now it’s a deep rotation. 

They blow out a lot of teams which is how he’s been retaining value.

when I watch their games they don’t use him at all they just stick him in the corner.

[n.mollov 39]

he s putting really strong per minute numbers even in limited minutes

 

he is a hold for me

 

if he ever gets to 30ish minutes he is going to be amazing

[snroto 59]

If he get 30 min he will be the Middleton of 3 years back 

[t0087669 113]

Dropped him for Melton earlier this week, if Morant comes back earlier may pick him back up again

[NBA_OG 514]

A side comment- Donte Divincenzo, Korver, Connaughton, Illysova aka Ghost Face Illa got to be the most legit all-white bench ever in a long time. 

[fantasm 153]

as long as he keeps stealing the ball, he's a hold for me

[Trench Mob 1,652]

Good short term pickup with the Bledsoe news.

Is anyone else seeing major similarities to Fred VanVleet in DDV this year?

Great defender, can shoot, was a winner in college but flew under the radar in the NBA draft.

I'm aggressively hunting him everywhere that he's available where I have low end guys to cut, and in a dynasty I'd say he's a must stash. Wesley Matthews shouldn't really be starting and I doubt he will be beyond this season.

IMO VanVleet has all-star ceiling. Just a much better player. Divincenzo is a ultimate glue guy for both fantasy and IRL.

 

But I never get guys coming from Villanova flying under than radar. That program is the constant blueprint. Sure they're not Kentucky or Duke, but guys there can play. Eric Pascall proved that tenfold. 

[Trench Mob 1,652]

Good grief. I really wish he had ROS value.

[indigorivers 81]

I'll take the what i can get on a monday. This guy just stuffed it

[Trench Mob 1,652]

Taking a flier. Can't leave this much talent on waivers. The hell with that.

[n.mollov 39]

Did anyone watch the game?

 

he regular steals but how were his assists? Did he play pg?

[MysticPeak 421]

Nah, from what I saw, he saw open looks and did the smartest thing which was pass the ball. Bound to have a couple of games like this IMO, but this is a rare statline from him. Glad I started him tonight.

 

Goodbye, Huerter!

Here's all of his assists (9) from tonight's game, let the video play out, it'll autoplay every asts:

Late in the game, I noticed there wasn't any traditional PGs late in the game (Bledsoe out with knee soreness).

 

So instead of having George Hill, we saw:

Giannis

Donte Div (but guarding Jalen Brunson on D)

Korver

Ilyasova

Lopez

for a stretch late in the 4Q.

 

 

My new Red Velvet.
