His face (and the rest of him) looks much thinner than it did this past summer.

Glad he's still motivated to contribute. I love Jax, but Diaw was definitely the prize acquisition last year.

I'm not really sure thin Diaw has in the past been a tweener with a streaky jumpshot that he is tentative about. Would like to see a Diaw that converted heavy Diaw's extra weight into muscle.

Not sure if it has been a concerted effort on Diaw's part, but so far in the scrimmage and first preseason game; I've seen him be aggressive on situations where he typically would pass after making the move. I love when he catches the ball on either wing, fakes a jumper, than drives to the basket. (:45 mark in video below)

Diaw definitely looks alot thinner than he did last season. I can't wait to see what he and Jack can do in a full season...

Diaw being lighter will help him a lot on the offensive end. One of his issue last season, was that when he was open, he was too slow to take advantage of that with a drive to the basket. Most of the time it ended with an offensive foul. With a lighter and quicker Diaw, teams won't be able to let him as open as OKC did.

I'd think the weight loss would help against face-up 4s like Nowitzki, but might hurt in guarding someone like Pau Gasol.

Pau is actually kind of thin, for a big, nothing like the load his brother is.. Pau will more or less be on the perimeter, unless Dwightmare is on the bench.
