These are remarkably similar players. But DFS is 3 years younger, 9 lbs thicker, and 7 million dollars less expensive.
We've been watching DFS all season. RoCo defends better on the perimeter to say the least. If you like DFS, which I do, he'll be even more effective coming off the bench.
DFS offensive efficient numbers are higher because he plays in a more efficient offense.
RoCo is a better defender, DFS is actually an average defensive player he is no stopper that can guard opposing wings.
Mavs need some to guard the Mitchell of the world at the end of games.
