I see some of y'all have very, very short memories regarding D'Lo.
D'Lo basically lost his chance at finishing this season a Laker with his performance in the WCF.
It is his inconsistency that has him on the hot seat. Seriously, look at these numbers from December, and tell me that benching him wasn't the right move:
Those are DISGUSTING numbers from a starting point guard getting these kind of minutes.
You all seem to have forgotten because of his recent play, but that's what he does-- tricks nikkas into thinking he can ball, then he falls completely off a cliff. You cannot rely on him, and that's a death sentence in the Playoffs when you need your starting 5 to be consistent.
Look at Dejounte's numbers from the same time span:
Dejounte is simply a better player. He's more consistent, a better defender, and most importantly: RELIABLE. There isn't even much falloff from assists, but he doubled D'Lo's scoring numbers.
I'm sorry, but this is a no-brainer
