This Is Not The Same Donte DiVincenzo

Donte DiVincenzo has always been a pretty well rounded player. But this year with the New York Knicks he's completely transformed his game. And we're seeing the effects of that right now in the playoffs.

I think playing at Golden State helped him a lot seeing Steph and Klay work. Probably changed his approach a bit now he’s a much more efficient volume 3pt shooter

[@KingWilson-mg3ns]

Ofc not bro been good at shooting golden state wasn’t letting him show his potential im glad he left kaminga need to aswell

[@taemac10]

​@@KingWilson-mg3ns Well Golden State had a lot of options so he was never going to get the opportunity like he is in NY.

[@MuckNoya]

@@KingWilson-mg3nsna Kuminga will eventually flourish in GS. They can't play the same way anymore(Steph's only declining from here, Klay is washed and dray is dray)

[@pastasoo]

@@MuckNoya I honestly believe the warriors would be strong contenders if they just got rid of klay and wiggins and replaced them with some consistent scorers. The entire reason the warriors aren't even in playoffs this year is because of Klay, he literally gave 0 points being played for around 30mins during their last game, what a mess

[@PimpNamedSlickBack1_]

@@KingWilson-mg3nshe literally credits Steph with helping his shooting mechanics

[@thegoatproduction6054]

Donte always been good. He’s just in more of a role here

[@ItIsYouAreNotYour]

He's got that dawg in him from never being adopted.

[@gmoney8399]

Bingo, it’s the same Donte… more opportunity. He’s tightened some things up, but he’s always played the exact same way,

[@benwormser8579]

100% agreed, great analysis there. lets give some kudos to Hartenstein, he is an elite passer for a center his size.

[@conorwatchvidz]

I always knew Donte was good and could be better than he had shown, so now that he’s got a solid role on a team with players he’s got chemistry with from college, I’m not surprised how he’s flourished

[@yuiiop4197]

These Nova boys really said “let’s run it back in the NBA”

[@bwbbls]

they signed him to be a depth player too

[@brianharris9949]

I knew Donte was good the first time I saw him play for Nova. He’s always had that swag and just needed a HC that believes in him. Thibs does. He’s a better athlete than most give him credit for.

[@Emmy414MIL]

As a bucks fan I’m annoyed they didn’t give him lots of playing time and annoyed they didn’t keep him

[@rassimve4873]

you know a guy is him when his name's Donte

[@sleezebagsammy8605]

Excellent video and thank you!

[@T1Oracle]

The Warriors created this. And then forgot about it...

[@somone1437]

they had no money, cuz klay and dray lol. they act like they are still a dyansty when they are missing game and shots

[@Raio123]

@@somone1437 its all money my boy

[@Michael_Page]

Donte averaged 21 points per game in the his last 35 regular season games. He's still seen as a "role player" but he's as morphing into as much as a #2 scorer as prime Klay was. He was drafted higher than Brunson and Hart for a reason. Not nearly as much sauce as a guy like Tyler Herro, but Donte can get buckets within the flow of an offense. The Nova 3 combined make less money than Jaylen Brown.

[@ItIsYouAreNotYour]

Why are you choosing his last 35 regular season games?

[@Michael_Page]

@@ItIsYouAreNotYour Why not? It's a large recent sample size that shows what he can do.

[@godtv7119]

@@ItIsYouAreNotYour I mean he did have to step up for the fact that randle missed that many remaining games this season . Donte never had this opportunity in his career before

[@adam1st1984]

He's going to go down as an all time knick..he's like John starks but better lol

[@Knitty610]

No, he always been this guy! He's just been given the opportunity and on a team that believes in him. It's crazy what you can do WITH AN OPPORTUNITY!

When preparations meets opportunity

[@LeviNotik]

He looks more comfortable every game. Dude has been a walking bucket

[@JoePalau]

Great analysis. Donte has reached another level of scoring 3s and going to the hoop, scoring and passing for offensive opportunities Give a go at his defensive play. Knicks D is a big part of who they are and Donte plays a role there, too

[@JS-sf5hg]

he improved his shooting form, current form (1-motion) is different from what it looked like in college.

[@kyul9357]

Donte was a good facilitator with the warriors and made clutch shots. But never at this volume. I was disappointed the warriors traded him (moved to the bay from nyc 10 yrs ago). I’m convinced it’s the Villanova brotherhood that’s making the sum greater than its parts. These brothers played 3 seasons and won 2 titles together. The connection runs deep.

[@BrooklynBalla]

Warriors didn’t have money to resign him I think

[@justtimes9257]

Well, the biggest issue with Dante was him recovering from that injury and opportunity

[@cordova2593]

Donte reminds me of what Jordan Poole was during the warriors championship run and im all here for it

[@LGNYFan]

The big ragu Donte 🥶🥵🥶🥵

Bro you’re giving away the secrets. Hehe just joking. Great video

[@boris2997]

Lmao 😂 shhh🤫

[@5un50utPr05]

I always thought, Divincenzo, Jordan Poole, and also Jamal Murray are the closest things to Steph Curry in the league rn

[@AnthonyMontgomeryjr]

I still see it with Poole hopefully one day he puts it all together

[@deezosaintloyal]

I’m not a name dropper but I know guys who made it to the league and guys who played overseas.. and a few that did both. They all said the same things. 90% of the league can be star players.. they just have to get lucky and find the right team that uses them in the right way. I think Donte found his system. Happy for him, Brunson, and Hart. Do you think the knicks will find a way to trade for Mikal?

[@quintenyarbrough1504]

90% huh? 🧢🧢🧢

[@yankeeverse]

Brah... u r more knowledgeable than me so I can't answer your question. But can you give me the Knicks starting lineup for next season?

[@fabo0913]

If they could they would, he would be the perfect fit but would push Donte to the 6th man role which im sure he'd be fine Wirth & he'd probably still get close to 30 mins a game. Nets aren't dealing Bridges tho. They have some inflated idea that he's a number one option which is why he's been struggling this season. They're actually doing him a disservice IMO putting those expectations on him when really he's not even the second option on a championship team. Nets supposedly turned down 3-4 first round picks and Jalen Green from the Rockets at the deadline. INSANE move by them lol. But the Knicks & Nets also haven't done a trade together since 1983 lol, they aint sending him in the same city. He would be the perfect fit too. It's too bad he got dealt to the Nets because that's probably the only place the Knicks have zero chance of acquiring him. Think he would make them title contenders 100%

[@Kentarius]

Lying ass dude lmao🤡🤡

[@roddizon2242]

It is a Warrior play that they get from Steve coaching

[@BrooklynBalla]

Devo just needs to work on his inbetween game and add a floater and quick middy pull-up.This is the first time in his career he’s relied upon as basically a second option so it’s not perfect.I expect next season he’ll be even better overall.

[@camiam91387]

The difference was opportunity

[@aliabdi4060]

One of the Best scorers thru out the post season ? THATS STATS SAYS HES THEE BEST.

[@EtiandroRosa]

Still beyond me why the Dubs let him go? 🙄

[@ruxcooking]

Cash. He was expensive for a backup and budget was tight.

[@Michael_Page]

they couldn't pay him. Not a budget issue, because of what they signed him for, they weren't allowed to pay him what the Knicks did.

[@jayjayfrmstatefarm9363]

New CBA, GS couldn’t pay him what Knicks could.

[@T1Oracle]

They paid Klay and Dray and got what for that again? Just bad management all around. Should have kept Poole too. Poole's problem is entirely in his head and the Warriors had the key to fixing that.

[@Evocati-Augusti]

A lot of guys are going to have to step up in big ways now, some of are best guys were taken out by the 76ers, which since I got my Jordans in 1984 I've never seen 2 of the dirtiest players and plays on the same team , to the point they don't even get along, Embiid took out Robinson for the rest of the season from the dirtest play I've ever seen, he tried to get a call by flopping on the floor after running into Anunoby (whose out too) Robinson goes to dunk and while Embiid was still on the floor he grabbed his legs pulling him to the floor were he landed on his left ankle funny,Randles a big miss and so is Bogdanovic ,he can come off the bench and sink 4-5 3 pointers, and now Brunson?

[@velvetzkvk5174]

Donte watched Jrue Holiday play defense, learned the mid range from Khris Middleton, and then watched J Poole, Steph and Klay shoot 3’s. This is the avatar

[@juanburgos5041]

He was always this good kerr didnt use him

[@user-dq8ik9ce1v]

Kerr is stuck in time. The only player standing with Curry during their elimination game in the 2022/23 finals was Donte. The Warriors so stuck on yesterday that they won't play their youngsters.

[@BBallisBetter]

Can you do a Giannis Antetokounmpo and Ja Morant breakdown on their game one day because it seems like those 2 players don't be getting alot breakdowns since 2021?.

The Warriors got rid of Poole and kept Draymond after Draymond knocked Poole out. Go figure. Donte was part of the young players on Warrior bench. They stood by their veterans and haven't been the same since the punch.
