Hassan Diarra Practice Highlights

[McLovin]

I see a lot of Kemba Walker in how he plays. Not expecting him to have a Kemba level season, but he has that old school tough NYC guard game.

the leveled out shot and adding range is interesting. learning from steph curry?

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Can’t be…all the analytics folks demand only 3s and basket 2s.

Ugh, this misconception about analytics needs to die already. A wide open mid-range shot by a good shooter is still a good shot. A contested mid-range jumper or a shot from a mediocre shooter just inside the arc is not.

Diarra is going to be key this season. You don't win championships without depth at guard.

 

[Huskybass]

Love Hassan Diarra. Nobody is tougher than him. All time Dog.

Can’t be…all the analytics folks demand only 3s and basket 2s.

3pt Attempts is the most critical metric for success at the NBA level. Just look at the Celtics. No one came close to them this year.

However, I'm not sure if this holds at the College level. Good question for Danny.

 

[RichCTBB]

just for the sake of continuity and establishing leadership, Hass should start. but hurley runs a competition based culture and it may just involve Hass leadership actually producing enough value to win that competition.

Let's not forget that our offense is incredibly complex. I'd be surprised if Aidan or Solo were better at running and initiating the motions at this point.

 

[Umami Zen]

I see him playing under control and with pace-Not too dissimilar from Tristen's style last year. He has plenty of speed but the game seems to have slowed down for him. He's seeing things much better. Looking forward to his contributions this year.

 

[Huskybass]

Passing, penetration, perimeter...alliteration proclamation. Clyde Frazier would be proud.

 

[inWV]

Plays under control, has added nice looking shots to his arsenal and is always on task when it comes to D. It's the first thing that is bringing him more minutes and his familiarity with who the coaching staff wants to do things is the thing that will probably have him starting.

Perfectly put. Cannot hide Clyde's pride inside
