Message: [QUOTE="3rdbass, post: 2784960, member: 898"] Losing Diarra hurts. He was effective on defense and offense at the end of last year but still troubled by stupid fouls. I thought this would be the year he puts it all together and is an impact player for us upfront. I think the chances we play small are now increased. I think we will see a lot of lineups with Polley and Wilson at the 3-4 and 3 guards will used a lot during the season. Carlton starting is a given and I don't see another guy making much an impact up front from our big men unless Yawke or Cobb play great. Cobb has some skills but he is such a defensive liability that having him on the floor is a black hole. Same for Yawke on offense. I still think these guys are more backup players than starter and unless Whaley gained a lot of muscle he really has no chance of playing well against the bigger teams we will play. [/QUOTE]
