I have Laviano at 38% shooting and 44 ground balls in 2019. Interestingly in 2021 he did not have nearly as good a year - he suffered because our offense got deeper.
But even in his best year he was not doing what Dickson does. He could finish and ride like hell. but he couldn't carry the ball and other teams knew it. He certainly almost never scored on a dodge more likely he was looking to get rid of the ball before getting jumped as was cormier at that point. And he was not nearly as crafty close in cutting right on the crease as Dickson is. He was mainly a guy who found space in the high crease and could jam the ball in form there efficiently. He found a lot of it as the third attack with Moore and Kraus. Occasionally he would dive backside on crease and get that backside feed for the finish but not the way Dickson can do it.
Dickson runs around without the ball on offense in a way that remind me of curry, and he eventually finds himself open and can catch and finish on the move with crazy efficiency. yes shellenberger is great at finding him but Dickson is having an amazing year and is scoring more and more and more on the dodge lately, which just makes him so much more dangerous.
