Message: [QUOTE="SubbaBub, post: 5076631, member: 523"] The bigger question is post play. Diarra has already shown he can play at a high level even if he doesn't score, rebound, or make plays as well as Newton. I'm more worried about interior defense and demanding attention inside on offense. With Diarra you can project decent production with increased minutes. Is Johnson going to suddenly get 6 dunks per game instead of 2? Will opponents paint scoring remain anywhere close to what it was with Clingan over 40 minutes with the new pairing? I have no idea. I do know, Diarra can defend and run the offense even if his numbers aren't eye popping. Other questions more pressing that Diarra: Can Karaban consistently dominate as the #1 option? Can any of the new guys contribute in the way that Castle and Spencer did by filling in gaps? [/QUOTE]
