Half the team is out including 4 guys who all play ahead of him. But he is definitely making the most of the opportunity. All he had to do was learn how to play within his capabilities and pass the ball to the other guys more. Seems the G League and NBA have gotten him to do that.

Why is it so hard for you to acknowledge how well Daniss is playing in the league without adding qualifiers? As for how Daniss played at St John's, I would guess that he did what Coach Pitino asked of him.

As for myself, I wish Daniss all the best as his journey continues.

We are already missing Vince's size in key spots against the Michigans, Alabamas and will again against the Kentuckys, Iowa Sts, Creightons etc. !!!!!! And maybe no legit major college point guard!!!! We'll see.

Vince chose an option offering more PT and a better platform to maximize pro offers wherever that may be. I would have done same.

I absolutely agree with this. And he's playing great in the pros - as I said it looks like he will have a career there and I hope he lands in a place where he gets time. Not sure that will continue with Detroit when they get healthy although he will keep getting some minutes. But he may be better off someplace with a different roster where he can have a larger role. Which was my point.

Exactly. I'm sure CRP would have been happy to have Vince as a 7-10 minutes guy off the bench but that would not have been a good move for Vince.
