Finney-Smith at the SF, Improvement in Rebounding

[cow]

Last year was DFS’s best offensive season, by far. Heck, he was even attacking close outs and dribbling into the paint by the end of the year. Coincidence, or the result of playing the 4 much more, getting more favorable skill matchups? I’d say the latter is a big part of it. 

Dorian's confidence and reputation as a sniper is the biggest factor to attacking closeouts.
