Message: [QUOTE="yungdowork, post: 4702919, member: 10371"] That lineup doesn't sound drastically different than last year when he was surrounded by Newton, Hawkins, Karaban, and Clingan at times. Diarra definitely has a role on this team, but he's pretty limited offensively. Career 35ish% from the floor, just a slightly positive A/TO ratio, below average FT shooter for a guard; but can definitely push the pace and apply pressure when he's on. I think Diarra will be a good tool to have defensively especially against teams who have smaller, quicker PGs who our bigger guards don't match up well against. Even Newton struggled at times last year to stay in front of shiftier guards, and current evidence suggests Castle will also have some adjusting to do in that regard. [/QUOTE]
