never thought about that either but D Fish is a great comparisen.  Really solid strong lefties... huh

There is a little value add to a lefty as well.  Can't recall where I read that, but I do know Buzz (and his infinite study of statistics), has signed a much higher rate of lefty players than what the general population percentage is.  DJO, TJ Taylor, Deonte Burton, Maymon..

Pretty sure Brett "The Beast" Roseboro was a lefty too

A smaller Shannon Brown?

I would advise against comparing DJO to a guy that can barely hang on an NBA roster.

??? Brown has also made $10 million over six years and had the best year of his career this year.  If DJO can follow the same trajectory I'm sure he'd be a happy camper.  Novak has made under $5 in the same amount of time.  He was struggling to make rosters himself.  Sometimes all you have to do is hang on and find a good fit, like Wesley with the Jazz & Blazers.

Until DJO makes a roster and starts playing in NBA games, I'm not going to compare him to anyone. And regardless of money, would I want Shannon Brown on my NBA team? No.

Not gonna lie I jumped in joy when DJ got drafted by Dallas and it looked like he and Crowder would be teammates again. Then went to bed and was a bit disappointed to see that DJ was traded to LA this morning. Good news is they are both on playoff teams. All 7 MU players in the NBA are on 7 different playoff teams as of right now thats pretty crazy.

I couldn't figure why Dallas would get both of them when they'll likely end up playing the same or similar position.  With the trade, all is revealed.
