Anyone see said "more on ESPN"?
Diarra is our best floor general now. Nowell will learn a lot from him. Ball and Maheney are our best 2s, but Ball is more combo and Maheney more cerebral and a facilitator. Unlike our front court, our back court has very different styles of play.The irony of the Ball vs Mahaney argument, with all due respect to Diarra, is our best lineup might have both starting.
Doesn't that mean Mahaney is a "floor general"? I'm confused.Diarra is our best floor general now. Nowell will learn a lot from him.

Maheney was counted on as a scorer at St. Mary's and less of a floor general - he is a true combo guard and IMHO a better 2 than a 1 from what I have seen. Diarra, seems similar, an inch shorter, but has become a better 1 than a 2 in terms of handling the ball, distributing, and driving. He can also shoot the 3, but I would rather see Diarra bring the ball up than Maheney.
NBA Clingan and Reed are great practice mates for development. Can also include SJ as well. If our Centers aren't developing with such talented daily practice matchups then they don't want to get better.Think we may have something here if he continues to get stronger. I think he’s suppose to be 7’?
Last year he seemed too weak to get above the rim at the time. But he seems to get up a little easier in these videos. If he can be that lob threat and have some strong post moves he could be a valuable contributor down the road.
Also being a big talker as a center is a really really valuable skill! Have to communicate back there.
Man I wouldn’t surprised if he was ready as soon as next year. It honestly just depends on when his body is ready. The biggest thing last year was that he looked like a baby deer.NBA Clingan and Reed are great practice mates for development. Can also include SJ as well.

Just saying in 4 years he will be ready to kick everyone's arse.
Apparently 2 days ago, IG's timelines are terrible, it appeared at the top when I opened todayShe was just on the air live on NBS Sports Boston so either this is from yesterday or practice was early today and she made it back to Boston in time.
