On 6'8" rookie forward Ike Diogu (right), whom the Warriors reportedly refused to include in a trade for Ron Artest:

"I can see why they'd want to keep him; he's their only low-post threat besides Troy Murphy, who can score down there but prefers to shoot from the elbow out to the three-point line. Diogu plays bigger than his size with his long arms, and there's a sneakiness to him. He isn't likely to overpower you or dunk over the top, but he'll get good position, ball-fake you off your feet and then go for a half-hook or get to the free throw line. The reason he's only averaging 15.0 minutes is that he isn't a consistent rebounder."
