This is also relatively new. His passing while dribbling is still a little scary, but going to the rim off the dribble has been a nice little addition.I've been noticing this myself. The important issue here is that DFS is now a player that must be guarded by the opposition. That means he'll get close outs when getting a pass in the corner. Which, in turn, opens up the possibility for attacking the rim. He doesn't have to dribble more than twice and has the opposite corner as bailout if he gets swarmed by help defenders.
This is as compared to earlier in the season when they would cheat off DFS to double Luka. If the defense has to play honest, then I don't think anyone is unbeatable by DAL. (excepting SAC, for some reason)
