What would our record be right now with Dante?

Neto was quite good on D. Burke was a nightmare on D.

Hmmm. I didn't watch Burke really but in Neto's first stint he seemed a little lost to me. He was losing his man(mostly Steph) big time, if I recall correctly. Granted, everyone loses Steph.
 
Neto is further along than Dante. You can't win games without buckets and Dante doesn't do enough help on D to make up for his lack of any offense whatsoever. He's a spacing liability and we already have enough of those.

Dante's defense is the most overrated thing this fanbase has ever produced. He is at best quite pedestrian by every measure.

Dante's ability to stay in front of his man is impressive, and so is his length when challenging perimeter shooters. He has some defensive deficiencies, such as dying on screens like a fragile kitten. I think he's probably worse on the offensive end than Neto, since the latter at least search dribbles and distributes instead of just standing in the corner. They have identical stats, with the offense running a bit faster with Neto, and the defense being a bit worse. I think we would have been 8-8 or 9-7.

He gets a couple perimeter blocks a year. That's what has everyone blinded to how spectacularly awful he was at virtually everything else. Neto is thus far nothing special either. There wouldn't be much of a difference having one or the either starting.

Neto can't get in front of defenders like Exum can. Exum's athleticism alone puts him far above Neto.

Don't think you recall correctly. Neto mostly kept him in control. Did a good job. Jazz would not even put Burke on the PG generally and the Dubs were going after him all the time. Atrocious on d last night.
