Trae Young: I love Draymond Green to death but he’s not doing what Dyson Daniels does on defense

April 11, 2025 by Hoops Hype

Chris Haynes: Atlanta Hawks star @TheTraeYoung says ROY, DPOY and MIP belong to two players, and that’s Zaccharie Risacher and Dyson Daniels: “I love Draymond Green to death, but he’s not Dyson as far as what he’s doing on defense.” #haynesbriefs Full EP: youtube.com/watch?v=VvB1pE… pic.x.com/L1ivdWKHIv

Trae Young was asked about Zaccharie Risacher’s versatility postgame. He talked about how Risacher combines his athleticism and skills with his intelligence. I also learned a new phrase from the OGs. pic.x.com/CqkuQZzYBj – 11:50 PM

My 🧵 for why I think Dyson Daniels should be DPOY.
1) It is hard for us to wrap our minds around how far ahead he is of the pack in terms of both deflections and steals. Here’s a scatterplot to help visualize it.
He is on another planet when it comes to disruptiveness. pic.x.com/zcfISZvfHW – 12:02 PM

We’re missing a substantial piece of the picture when it comes to evaluating defense.
On how we are behind in understanding the value of steals, and why Dyson Daniels has been the best defender in the league:

Jason Beede @therealBeede
“Paolo is a really good player. He makes plays,” Hawks guard Trae Young told reporters about #Magic forward Paolo Banchero. “He’s going to make plays and you’ve got to make it as tough as you can on him, but it’s not going to be perfect.”

Anthony Slater: Draymond Green “Mess around with games in this league and you lose.” “Lack of grit.” pic.x.com/EAaozZ7Ejd -via Twitter @anthonyVslater / April 10, 2025
Draymond Green: This is Team USA. That’s the best basketball team in the world. And Melo was the go-to scorer. And so I think—just even with that—I’ll never forget. We had a little situation in Brazil, and after that happened, we had like a two-and-a-half-hour meeting. I call Jerry Colangelo “Doc.” So Doc is up there, Coach K says something, and then Doc just keeps going on and on and on, man. And we’re all just sitting there, taking it on the chin. Whole team. Sitting there, quiet, taking it. Finally, after like two hours, Melo was like: ‘Hey Jerry, we got it. We’re all grown men. Let’s move on now. If this happens again, someone’s going to have to go home. You’ll be kicked out of the Olympics.’ And that ended it. That was it. That was the end of it. -via YouTube / April 8, 2025
Draymond Green: And so, to see Dwight get his due now, I hope it’s fulfilling for him. Because man, did he earn it. And he deserves to be celebrated. I think a lot of people have tried to throw dirt on Dwight’s name—like Dwight wasn’t him. And I hate that. You know what I’m saying? I don’t like that. A lot of people done threw a lot of dirt on Dwight’s name, and I don’t like it. So to see him get his due—I’m extremely happy for Dwight. Well-deserved. -via YouTube / April 8, 2025
