Question for me is, would that year be better spent working with Samb? I don't think he's any rawer than Diop was a couple of years ago, and has better physical skills. I'd rather see him playing some.

I disagree a bit, I think Diop has more physical skills. I think it is a matter of time before his offensive skills catch up to his D, and he is still quite young.

In the end, doesn't matter, we won't sign him because we won't offer him the $ or length of contract.

Actually, I did too until basketbills mentioned him in another thread a few weeks ago.

If a team would ever just sign him, his jersey would be a #1 seller.

Kwame, #1 overall pick in 2001, DNP on the worst team in the league last year, stuck behind Darko, Jason Collins, and Brian Cardinal. I will be stunned if he's playing in the NBA next year, let alone playing for Detroit.

It sounds bad when you put it like that.
