If Murry has been in the right spot on offense, Powell has been on defense.

I agree, he brings blocks and that is something we have a definitely need.

Powell has had a bunch of blocks around the basket on what would be sure scores. Cole isn't as impressive but I think his size is still needed in a pinch if we need to give Tyson a blow, have foul trouble or injury. I'm not as convinced that Powell or Diogu can fill that need. They are getting rebounds and blocks tho so maybe i'm wrong.

Cole is putting in the effort but has trouble establishing himself in the paint. Not enough shown to stop looking for another big to give us some rebounding, especially on offense.

shump needs to drive sooner after getting the ball. Letting the defense dig in.

Cole's been a pretty big disappointment so far. He's played OK but for anyone that remembered him in college -- he's capable of much more. This is a guy that many considered the best C in the country when Kansas won it all. The guy was a dominant presence on the inside -- he hasn't played like that at all so far for us. I remember someone saying he was hurt at one point. Could it be he's still hurt? This isn't the player I remember at all..

I stand corrected. Diogus really battling out there.

I love Diogu's game. It ain't pretty but it's extremely effective. Just relentless inside. A bull in a china shop. Just knows how to put the ball in the hoop. Knows how to get to the line too and he hits his FTs. Throw in the little jumper from mid-range he's also got -- he's impressive...Powell's impressed with the several blocked shots but I don't know what to tell you guys -- Diogu's the better player. I've got him ahead of Powell.

Lol yeah. He was garbage yesterday but he's picked it up tonight.

Murry runs PG the way I expected Shumpert too once upon a time. We aren't finishing but I really like what I'm seeing from him.

Right Spot Murry is taking claim of one of those final Spots.

I also like what I've seen from Hardaway but he is a borderline terrible defender. If he develops in this respect, he might become a starter in the not to distant future.

It is starting to look like Murrys right spot is CJ's Spot on this roster.

Murry over Leslie is starting to look like the right move. I really liked the promise of Leslie, but I just don't see where he fits at all.

Like what I've seen from CDR so far. He's easily the most talented offensive player we've put out on the floor tonight beside Bargnani. Yet, when he's got time, he hasn't forced anything at all. Content just to move the ball and hit the open man. I would hate to think that he's on the outside looking in. He really should be an automatic to make this team on his track record alone..

Diogu is playing the role I wish Malik rose had played.
