Message: [QUOTE="Sphinx, post: 4670727, member: 4623"] Agree absolutely. Diarra, last year, was a 19% 3-point shooter, a 30% overall shooter and a 50% free throw shooter, worst on the team in every category. He was worse at the FT line than Clingan. As a ball-handler he turned the ball over at a greater rate per minutes played than anyone except Newton. Diarra needs to improve in every offensive cartegory. He might otherwise be too great a liability on offense to risk his presence on the floor. To pencil him in for even 11 minutes is to highlight how desperate the need for defensive quickness may become. That is indeed where Ball could help -- or where Castle and Spencer must surprise..
