Official Dirk is Great Thread

Sefko reporting Dirk is still weeks away from playing. He must have had a set back, but I also don’t think the media made much of him having ankle surgery this summer.

Yeah Fisher posted an article about it. I know Fish isn't the most reliable but he's usually good on these kinds of things.

It's really looking like it's the close to the end for our dear old Dirk :/ 6 months of recovery for a minor ankle surgery and still having set backs and needing more time is not a great sign. Expect him to be in and out of the lineup this year. I don't know if I'm ready for this.

Yea it sucks. On the bright side, when he comes into games he will have the green light for bombs away, and he won't have such a critical role. Plus if Doncic is playing well it will take the focus off Dirk and help the transition for us.

It's not a great sign BUT he may also thrive coming off of the bench... 20 minutes a game to come in and fill it up. I think he'll shoot 40% from 3 and be wildly efficient again this season.

His eFG% last year was off the charts for a jumpshooter. 54.7% was the second highest in his entire career.

I fully expect him to stay up there as more and more of his shots come from behind the arc.
