This year I like seeing him be more patient, there isn't a big hurrying imo. If doesn't lose the ball then being patient will get a better shot it seems to me.

Because Dirk sets up farther out than Duncan and most guys who draw the double team, it comes to him later. A lot of teams don't run the 2nd defender at him until he makes his move. They like to slap at the ball when he's turning into the lane. He's getting better at handling it, but his DT looks different than Duncan, who is such a quick score threat, the double comes to him as soon as he touches the ball.
