DIAWara

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

next steal for the Nuggets :smokin

Its going to be great having a Frenchman on the Nuggets :fro

[Burn531]

wtf?

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Yakhouba Diawara is a French swingman on the Nuggets summer league team. They have signed him to a 2 year contract.

He is the next Diaw :smokin , he can play multiple positions and is a great defender, scorer and hussle player.

diawARA isn't at all the next Diaw. If you want to compare him to a french player, Pietrus is a better choice.
He can defend multiple position but he can't play multiple position on offense. His ballhandling isn't good enough to play SG and he isn't big enough to play PF in nba.
Diawara main quality is to be very athletic, he isn't the most talented player in the world. I can see him being a quite good backup SF, nothing more.

next steal for the Nuggets :smokin
Next after what?

[Bruno]

Next after what?

I wonder too, he seems happy to get a Frenchman too : their last one was a fucking steal :lol

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Next after what?


after landing JR Smith for 2 2nd rd picks and Eisley :smokin

[Quadzilla99]

Slow down. Smith isn't an all star yet.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Slow down. Smith isn't an all star yet.

and Eisley is?

If JR averaged 10/3, it would be worth it :smokin

[Quadzilla99]

It's not a steal unless Smith really becomes a player.

diawara? is there a shot that I can take so I don't get that I heard it's nasty. :lol

[PaceMonster]

Slow down. Smith isn't an all star yet.

And i doubt he will be

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

its a steal even is JR only turns out to be better than Eisley, and he already is

He is already better than 99.9% of 2nd rd picks

its a steal :smokin'

Sorry, I was watching the game yesterday, and it reminded me of this thread. :spin

you really think so? i always scream at him when he's playing, cringing when he throws up all those wasted 3s...he couldn't even finish under the basket once or twice last night

i like the nuggets so i'm saying this in the nicest way, i hate it when he's in the lineup...in fact, last night when they were playing the mavericks i thanked him for all his mistakes to help us win at the end

edit: i now see that you wrote this during the summertime, but dang, how wrong this prediction happened to be

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

:lol yeh last night he stunk it up

but he is a rookie so he gets a grace period.

[Fillmoe]

i think he will be decent.... it will take some time though


and JR Smith was a steal

[Burn531]

One would think after you're 0-6 you stop shooting.

[Fillmoe]

the only way to get out of a slump is to keep shooting.......

[FreshPrince22]

the only way to get out of a slump is to keep shooting.......

yea, if you're kobe. If you're a scrub, you wait untill the next game and hope something has changed. Before long, guys will stop passing to him.

[PhxDog]

Looks more like Tariq Abdul-DIAWahad to me. ;)


Seriously, I like Gelabale much better--mainly based on his work with the French nationals, but that counts as basketball too, right?

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Diawara is only taking that many shots coz the team is depleted of people who take the majority of the shots.

Once JR gets back, Khoubes minutes will go down and so will his shots.

Ya but the problem is he isnt a shooter and George Karl should not let him have the green light after missing so many shots

Diawara isn't and likely won't be a great player but trashing a player only because of one game (and especially a rookie) is just stupid.
