NBA Role: versatile, playmaking forward • Salty DOG

What’s the first word that should come to mind when thinking of Boris Diaw? – tricky? slick? slow? close, close, & close: the answer is…smooth; it’s no hyperbole to say Boris Diaw is one of the most unique ‘point forwards’ in recent memory* – he’s not beating anyone in a foot race or speeding down the court – Diaw takes his time, passes flashy & (efficiently) maintains pristine ball movement 24/7; frequently uses ‘Brad Miller-fakes’ to get by defenders for wrap around dimes – it works way more often than it should; full-blown YMCA approach: Diaw’s old man, “back you down 12 times” game is in its fully evolved state; doesn’t always look to score, though Diaw has a little pop left from downtown; another Salty DOG for Utah to lean on in the locker room – ideal mentor for Quin Snyder’s budding playmakers

*guess it kinda is since ‘point forward’ isn’t a real position
