He was a lazy ass who was scared someone would pass him the ball. The only good thing about him was the fact he helped us get JJ.
GO HAWKS.

No. Not when he was here. But he's obviously a different player nowadays.

Re: Was Diaw a good defender?
yes, he was a very good defender. as a rookie he shut down Carmelo.
Hawks forced Diaw to play SF, but the times he was at PF he was a very good post defender, getting alot of nice blocks and rebounds.
but even with that said, Josh Smith was miles better, so that unfortunately made Diaw expendable.

This has nothing to do with the thread...but the play in your sig was a foul. He didn't really get any ball there.

The point is why is he trying to 360 dunk with a defender 2 ft behind him?
