Starting Boris Diaw?

Question

Hey Suns fans, I heard about this last week either from ESPN or Yahoo sports ( don't remember) that Diaw will start at SF over Grant Hill (who will exercise player's option next season). Is this true?

If so, then good move by Porter. You have a playmaker @ SF who has decent speed, can rebound, and can hit shots. If he starts, then I am sure he will be less Lazy then he used to be, too.

Answer 1

I love Grant Hill, but he shouldn't be starting. He would be perfect off the bench, and he is a humble enough person to accept that. Boris is the man when he isn't playing ball like a 5 yr old child. Starting would boost his confidence and get him in the flow of the game throughout the season. Go Terry Porter on making the right move. I don't miss Mike D at all!!!

Answer 2

I've heard the news. It would be a good move for the Suns. Diaw had an off year last season but i think he could bounce back.

He is better at starting providing versatility (score, rebound, assists) at the small forward position.

Answer 3

Yeah, that sportswriter doesn't know what he is talking about. Here is what the line-up will look like.

C Shaquille O'Neal / Brian Skinner

PF Amare Stoudemire / Boris Diaw

SF Grant Hill / Matt Barnes

SG Raja Bell / Leandro Barbosa

PG Steve Nash / Leandro Barbosa / DJ Strawberry

Answer 4

Then Diaw will be more active. He can score, rebound and pass. He will become a better player. . .
