How good can Dennis be?

Dennis is better than Teague and coach bud needs to realize this and shake things up in the line up. 

Both of them are unacceptably inconsistent.

I would like to see Dennis' hockey assists as well but I can't find them. 

7 drives a game is good but he can get to 8.  DeMarcus Cousins in the midst of 48 guards.  Damn.

Dennis' assist to turnover could stand to improve at 2.17 (Conley killing everybody at 4). Al and Draymond at an impressive 20th and 21st, again amongst 40 guards.

This may seem farfetched but I think his ceiling is a perennial all-star starter.  If he can get his 3 pt % to about .35 and overall fg % to about .44-.45, he has everything else already--it will gel in time.

Ahhhhhhhh, yes, such a rarity with 22 year old PGs in the NBA.....

Very true,  but one is a 22 year old, in year 3 of his career while the other is a 27 year old who should be in the Prime of his career and should not be making as many mistakes as he does.

Dennis will be really good, no doubt about it in my mind. Can't say really if he gets to top five, but who really cares about that?

Dennis will be good, he has already shown a lot of good things this year, but to be honest, I still yell at the screen whenever he throws those bounce passes (should I say bounce-turnovers?).

Halfway up that list, and youngest, is pretty damn good company...

Okay, let's play this game and have a little fun :) Dennis is averaging 19.1 points, 8 assists, 1.6 steals and 5 rebounds per 36 minutes at the moment. He is 22 years old and in his 3rd season.

Which players put up similar numbers (18+ points, 7+ assists, 1+ steal, 4+ rebounds per 36 minutes)  in any of their first 3 years while being 23 years or younger? 4 players in NBA history. HYPE! ;)

Russel Westbrook, Clyde Drexler, Rod Strickland and Dennis

If we lower the points per 36 minutes to 15 per game, the list is a little longer and Dennis has two qualifying season (this and last year).

Thats actually not bad company I would say.

Rod Strickland and Kenny Anderson are the 2 guys on that list that are most comparable to Dennis.  He has that swag to his game like Kenny had.

Sky is the limit for Dennis IMO. The dude is a phenomenal athlete and he has a ton of skills. He just needs to figure out the mental part and he will be a great one.
