Boris Diaw looking like he’s worth the money
Boris Diaw looked like a rising star in the 2005-2006 season – the season where Amar’e was out because of a knee injury. He had averages of 13.3 points, 6.2 assists, 6.9 rebounds to go along with percentages and a block a game. This led to the Suns extending his contract for 5 years worth $45 million. The summer after that he got fat and Amar’e came back full force and he played a lesser role in the offense. He was also asked to play more of an inside game where he wasn’t comfortable with. After two and a half years since the extension, Diaw, Raja Bell and Sean Singletary were traded to the Charlotte Bobcats for Jason Richardson and Jared Dudley.
The trade is looking really good for both teams as the Suns have gone 3-1 and the Bobcats are 2-3, which isn’t bad for a struggling team. What’s even better is that Diaw is justifying his salary with career highs in points(16.8), rebounds (7.8), steals (1.0), threes (1.4). If he continues this (I hope), he would be one of the best pickups off the waiver wire this year. By now, every fantasy league shouldn’t have Diaw in their waiver wire. If ever you are in any of the leagues that still has Diaw available, you better hurry and enjoy this production for the rest of the year. In 2008-2009, Diaw looks like he will be a star in this league, definitely worth the money.
