Message: [QUOTE="Colin G, post: 4493352, member: 4427"] This just comes down to how the starters ahead of them are playing. Very clear that Diarra is Newton’s backup and Cal is Hawkins’ backup, Hawkins has been awesome, Tristen not so much. Good to have Diarra off the bench so if Tristen starts playing non aggressively as he can it’s a quick hook and Diarra comes in. Cal will get his minutes but on a much less consistent basis than Diarra because it’s known Diarra will come in and play lockdown D and with a ton of energy, much more consistent of a skill/role than Calcaterra microwave offense. Plus when your team is shooting cold better to double down on lockdown d and grinding it out than try to shoot your way out of it at times IMO. [/QUOTE]
