Hamidou Diallo to Test Waters (UPDATE: DIALLO TO RETURN TO UK)

The Native's are restless......

Question now, what does Knight play in the league, the one or two????

He doesn't play at all, for some reason.

Knight's a good player. I've never understood why he gets so little respect.

[J.Jennings]

Anyways, don't be surprised if Diallo has the ball in his hands taking more often than not driving and getting to the rim. I still say he will play point and with Shay being able to shoot at his size, he will more than likely play more of a 2g role while Diallo plays point and drive simply because he doesn't have the jumpshot from what i hear. Besi


Besides, don't eat your words on Diallo if Cal sticks him at point and has him check another point guard on the other end with his long wing span and athleticism.... However, Cal would never do that and to mention that on here is blasphemy, shame on me, how dare i question the basketball god and gurus of this forum.......

The term thinking outside the Box does not apply here.....

I don't think he'll have the ball in his hands very much at all actually in the way you're talking about.

Cal before the season last year talked about wanting guys to "fly." Mostly Monk. To get up the floor and to use his athleticism like Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.

That's how I think we'll see Diallo: as a player who runs ahead, who streaks to the other end, and who tries to get out in the open floor to negate his shooting.

He may push the ball when he rebounds...but that's a far cry from being a point guard.

Will's done upset Lighthouse with mild profanity now. You've done it big time.

Can a mod ban a mod and if so can banned mod unban himself lol.

Well laying all jokes aside, yes i agree with you on this. He started off good, did okay in Milwaukee, now rides the pine in Phoenix. Knight is still young and needs to find a good team, a good fit. Places like Houston and a few other teams could actually use a guard of his nature who can score and play two positions plus he's pretty athletic. He wasn't my favorite player in college but then the light clicked on and i began to respect his game and what he did at Kentucky, i am hoping he lands somewhere and resurrects his career.........

I think he's a pretty solid guard that any team would benefit from having. Early on he was on the receiving end of a couple plays that made him look like garbage, and I've wondered if those have defined his career and stuck him with an unfair label.

I just banned Lighthouse.

He's 25 years old with a career average of like 15 pts a game. Some think the PG in Denver is a bust, would Brandon and Murray be a good fit? Tony Parker is old and Patty Mills is a FA. Kyle Lowry is leaving Toronto, what about the 76ERS, the Knicks? Sacramento if they don't take Fox. Knight would start for Brooklyn and a few other teams..

Brandon Knight needs change of scenery, not enough clock in Phoenix with Bledsoe and Booker in front of him unless you move Booker to SF....

That's a switch. A referee getting tossed from something.

Yeah but it all evened out when he screamed at me, "ARE YOU BLIND?!"

This literally made me laugh out loud.

Either "everloving hell" has triggered your Wordy Derd Alarm or you haven't been reading J. Jenning's insanity.

My only point is, there's no love in hell. BTW, what's a Derd?

In 5th grade it was common to transpose the first letters in "Dirty Word" to "Wirty Dord" pronounced (Wordy derd)

You guys are awesome. Page 43 of this thread had me just about in tears. Particularly post #631-638. It's like some insane family reunion or something.
