Well Dawson's OR was less than Derrick's OR. Derrick also had a better EFG%, assist percentage, and was a better rebounder. Not that Derrick was good, but IMO Dawson wasn't better. And I think in retrospect it was obvious why Mayo didn't get more playing time including a chance to start.

I think Dawson/DW has become a massive straw man for both sides. The Derrick bashers argue Dawson couldn't have been worse despite only having one really inspiring game. There's not nearly a big enough sample size to support Dawson't superiority and his offensive inefficiency actually indicates Buzz made the right choice.
But of course, those that feel Derrick was the right choice have the difficult point to defend that no one else was given a chance. Derrick was the best that played, but that's because he's the only one that played.
We'll never get an answer. If we couldn't determine it when Buzz was here, we certainly won't now that he's gone or going forward. Just one more reason we need games to start, to put these silly arguments in the past.
