       Just to add to this, Danny ventured under the boards, got an
    authoritative elbow/clear-out/box-out/ass-kicking from Tree. Danny then
    tried to retaliate at the other end with an elbow of his own. Tree
    punched him, Danny tackled him, Tree bit him. TREE BITES MAN was a
    headline in one paper.

       Perhaps if Danny wasn't scowling so much
    people wouldn't even notice him. He is often criticized for his
   shot selection and I think that means he takes one outside too many.
   This is tough to criticism to make, however. He is a shooting guard.
   He will often make two or three in row, prompting him to take
   the next open shot ( since he's "hot"). He usually misses the next one
   and is usually taken out seconds afterward.
   I can't find fault with
   that and I wish he wasn't always yanked after he gets that miss.
   This hurts a player's confidence and subsequently, his game.

   He's an average offensive guard who is better outside than in.
    He's sub-par in terms of NBA penetrating (mediocre first
    step) and streaky from the perimeter. His finest asset is
    that he plays defense with his feet rather than his hands. He
    is a good player to have on your "Team".
