I've mentioned this in the past... Dior now has help inside, he's moving to his natural position and has developed a better handle which will allow him to take more guys off the dribble and go strong to the hoop. He only had 153 free throw attempts last season shooting around 68%.
Compare that to guys like Diamon Simpson, Jared Dubois, John Bryant,etc... who got to the line a bunch more times.
I don't want to see Dior get pounded all the time when driving to the hoop but I do want to see the referee blow his whistle and say "And one!" He's got a sweet jumper but it not have to settle on it as much as he did last season.
We of course don't want to overhype but it's scary to think what Dior will average this season if he shoots 75% or better from the line and if the players around him hit their open shots when they double Dior.
Going to enjoy every minute of his last season with us.
