    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 , 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.

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

    and Eisley is?

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

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

    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 '

    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

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

    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?

    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.
