Message: [QUOTE="Francis03, post: 927963, member: 195"] Got a chance to watch the Bryant vs Diallo matchup recently. It was a little disappointing because Bryant sat mostly 3/4 of the game with foul trouble and he was nearly paralyzed after taking a nasty fall in the 3rd qtr. When he did actually play I would say that he won individual battle head to head against Diallo. He scored against him with a post move inside and knocked down a three. Diallo had a much tougher time trying to score over Bryant's length and Bryant cleaned up all of the rebounds that came in their area. With Bryant on the bench, Diallo took full advantage and provided plenty of points, rebounds, and hustle plays to put his team in position to win before falling short. Diallo isn't the most skilled on offense and his team hardly runs any plays for him, but he's very aggressive whenever he has space with he ball and is a very good finisher and seems to always be around the ball somehow or another. It was a typical performance from TB when he was out there. Lots of hustle and activity up n down the floor. He's still stuck in cement slow laterally but moves well vertically. I wonder if that's something the staff can work on with him because he was not this slow laterally last year at BK. Another intangible that I think you guys would love is that even though TB hardly played, he was the biggest cheerleader for his squad. Encouraging his teammates, giving them instructions, and when they won with him sitting on the bench he ran on the court happy like a little kid who has seen the ice cream truck coming on the block lol. I think he's the type of player and character that would be a big fan favorite at the Dome. [/QUOTE]
