Dellavedova is playing great basketball at the biggest stage, but all I've heard from the media, analysts, fans, and even his own teammates are insults, back-handed compliments, and reluctant praise. He's still the unskilled, overachieving, unathletic white-guy who has become LeBron's unlikely sidekick. That's the narrative being presented and of course the sheep DWFs accept it as is.
The only reason he's not universally hated like Duke players is because people see a lovable loser they can relate to and root for a little bit. The fact that this man is a legit NBA player seems lost on everyone. If he were black, they would be talking about a new star with limitless upside being born.
