He looked pretty good his rookie year but he has never been able to get consistent minutes to show how good he can be. I think he would be a good pickup because of his length and future potential. He should be able to at least get consistent minutes here even if they are not a lot of minutes.

Lengh?

Isn’t Diogu 6’8"? He’d be a replacement to Leon Powe as he recovers from surgery. I’d rather see Boston go after a guard, as the only legit one we have is Eddie.

10 teams huh?

That’s a lot of teams interested in Diogu for someone I’ve never even heard of, provided of course they’re all actually interested in him.

I’ll say this though: it seems like he scored a combined 60 points in the last two games of the regular season for the Kings. He apparently only played 29 games last season due to injury. So…basically, with a good training camp…he’d be ok.

He seems like he could be our “fourth” big if BBD walks. What I want to know as a Celtics fan by default is…can he D?
