Dinos had a poor game in every respect, apart from a couple base line jumpers.
In fact, he has had a poor junior season. Disappointing. But he is ours and we have no one who can play his position, especially with McClinton injured. BTW, what's the word on McClinton?
We're definitely asking Dinos to do a lot more than we used to. For better or worse, it looks like Danny told him "Just shooting 3's isn't going to get you to the next level. You need to bulk up, be able to rebound, and play some defense." In trying to add those elements to his game, he has lost what made him in the first place.
It begs the question: When you have a player like that, what do you do with him? Do you try and make him something that he may not be? Or do you just accept that he will only be one thing his entire career and push him in that direction? In college, it would appear that exploiting their strengths is preferable to developing their all around game in such a short period (See coach K).
I'm sure the answer lies somewhere in between. IMO, in Dinos' final year he needs to stop trying to learn anything new and work on merging freshman year Dinos (outside scoring threat) with Junior year Dinos (more of a traditional low post guy).
