FIFY.
2017-18 Dipo was AWESOME. A player anyone would want. But....
1) He didn't do close to that again in 2018-19 while healthy.
2) He then had a DEVASTATING injury which might slow down his athleticism quite a bit (people assume DP is a lost cause, but very few are realizing that the quad tendon that Dipo blew is almost as bad).
3) He has come back from that injury and in two different stints (Feb-Mar 2020 & Aug 2020) has shot BELOW 40%, including in the playoffs with a playoff PER of 12.8 while not having a positive on-court effect.
It is NOT that people are saying he was never good. It is that people are saying "this isn't 2017-18 Dipo we are talking about."
