people just don't understand Don is our only reliable shot creator on the team. it's almost like Luka's situation before Dinwiddie's arrival. The man drop 40 a game and his team still lose. Didn't Donovan average 30 a game last post-season?
Bogey is clutch and Conley can make some nice play. but when there's a defender standing in front of them, can they beat their defender to get the shot off? So much is on Rudy's screen assist and constant ball movement to get the guys open but when they aren't, Don's the only one we have who can beat the defense to put up a shot.
Playoffs basketball is won by stars who can beat you one on one. Like even when Giannis dominated Phoenix last year, he's still got Jrue and Middleton who could create offense when he rests on the bench. Lebron had AD in 2020 and has always got at least one star right next to him. Kawhi led the Raptors in 2019 but both Lowry and Vanvleet came through in a big way. Who's our second star who could take the matter in his own hand when Donovan struggles?
