Man, I'm extremely excited to see what Dario Saric can bring to an elite team! He has great shooting form, is aggressive on 1-on-1 attacks, hits threes efficiently, and our offensive style should take his game to the next level. When combined with Vlatko or AG, this flavor of up tempo big man offensive pressure was one of our clear weaknesses vs. the Wolves. He's almost like Danilo Galinari mixed with Marcus Camby (ha maybe not a good comparison) and our bench will be formidable this year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nAfCMh3ZN4

Agreed!!
Just hit a few shots per night and this team is a hell of a lot better. That’s literally all we need from a 2nd unit big man. Like 7 points.
I’m getting so excited for next season!
Dario has always been nice since 76ers days.. Once we get Westbrook (and he plays level headed because of Jokic), we’ll be a top team.
Westbrook just needs to slow his game down, just like Kyrie did.
his defense is god awful
Marcus Camby was a defensive specialist shot blocker who could finish the lob at the rim. Decent shot but no 3 pt range
Dario Saric is nothing like Camby except his height. Camby was a 4x all defense with DPOY. Saric is awful on defense, below average rebounder for his height, not a shot blocker, can’t close out, and gets pushed around easily. He’s worse than Deandre Jordan on defense. We got him purely for his shot making and scoring ability which the Nuggets needed coming off the bench. I think Saric, Holmes, and DAJ will rotate and played situationally by Malone.
No. Denver needs a good perimeter defender. Saric ain’t it.
