Diarra is the main key to how far we can go.  Not sure if his knee is feeling better or if he's just getting better at playing through it, but he needs to be able to play 30-35 a game for us to realize our potential.

I generally like Nowell, but he needs to tighten up his handle if he's going to be able to spell Diarra for any length of time.  He seems to dribble high and wide and that's not going to cut it against the defenses we see.

And I still don't agree about starting Reed, especially if he doesn't care as long as he gets minutes (which I don't think he does, he very much seems to be a what's best for the team kind of guy).  If Reed can put up double doubles with 10-20+ points a game off the bench, why change things.  I still think starting Samson to start off with his energy and save Reed potential early fouls is the best approach.  And there may still be some matchups where Samson is the better choice for more minutes.
