The Promise of Diogu

Diogu shows promise, but still has lot to learn by Marcus Thompson II for the CC Times

Diogu impressed many during summer league. Even Warriors executive vice president Chris Mullin was lickihttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifng his chops while watching Diogu go to work. It's clear he has all the makings of a solid power forward. His summer league statistics hint at his ability to produce. He averaged 18.4 points and a team-high 8.4 rebounds in the five games. He shot 59.3 percent from the floor and made 22 of 26 free-throw attempts.

But just as clear is that he needs work. He is hardly a finished product. Summer league was just phase one of Diogu's development into the power forward the Warriors need. He's going to work out at the team's practice facility in Oakland until training camp begins in October.
