@OlehKosel Cheick Diallo has been awesome in February through 6 games, averaging 6.8 points and 6.5 rebounds. If you translate his numbers to per 36 minute data, it REALLY stands out:

16.0 PPG
15.2 REB
2.0 BLK
50.0 FG%
100.0 FT%
AND how about only 2.0 personal fouls a contest!?!

fricking Gentry...

I don't even want to compare the Per36 because I know he cannot even get there. But 15.3 minutes and he's averaging 6.8 points and 6.5 rebounds. Give him 22 minutes, likelihood is that he'd reach 8/8.

Its sickening to think what if we gave him 15 minutes a game WITH boogie available. AD and Cousins both go from 36->34 MPG, Cunningham goes from 22->18 MPG. That's already 6 minutes a night that you could have fed him to develop. The other 9 can come from not needing to run these 3 guard sets...

Okafor is playing adequately and he’s really not doing much more than Asik would. Gentry had answers on the bench, he just didn’t like them.

sheesh. only Pels talk can take a post about a young player's growth and turn it into a "blame the coach" rant

perhaps. also, what about fouls and blown assignments?

maybe Diallo could have done that and they blew it. also, maybe he wasn't ready to do that 2 months ago.

you know, he just might be playing better b/c of, not in spite of, the work he and the staff have done this season.
