Kid really needs a separate thread over his performance last night and his improvement this season.
His second half was a coach's dream. Coaches talk all the time about players needing to force a coach's hand when it comes to PT and Diarra has done that this season.
Diarra has 30 assists and 11 turnovers this season. 3:1. Last year's numbers were 66 and 38 or 1.7:1.
Free throws this season are 14-16.
His defense is ferocious. That jump and grab for a steal on inbound pass, defense rebounds, etc.
He is penetrating and getting to the rim under control.
He is giving Newton a legit 10-15 minutes a game break from having to run the point.
Another feather in the cap for Hurley and his staff on what they game planned for Diarra in the off-season for improvement and even more credit to Diarra for listening to the staff and executing it.
