...between Gettys and Doorson. Send Delgado to the line where he struggles. Make him work for everything.

Funny...last night I watched for the 1st time the 30 for 30 Survive and Advance. Delgado is 31-66 for 47%. Assuming you collect the defensive rebound that is .94 points per possession. I'd think that is right around where we want to be in a winning formula.
 
Actually the person I'm more concerned about is Freeman. Whos gonna rule the glass will be where the big battle will be. Freeman may frustrate Delgado and cause Delgado to foul, like for over the back fouls and things like that. But it may be the other way around.
 
Sa will certainly play some Center, as he does every game. So Gettys, Doorson and Sa will all play a role defending Delgado.

In re Freeman ... he does not foul that much on rebounds. But he does get his shot blocked when he faces taller players.
 
Point, but if Diallo hasn't played against weaker teams to date then he isn't playing against the Hall.

He will have a better chance playing in some BIG games and this one given the rate of foul trouble we might see. He's another big body and 5 fouls and he could play sparingly.
 
The uglier this game is the better. Hack the shit out of him, he has no offensive game and footwork beyond two feet out.
 
I want to see good basketball. My favorite way to shut down big guys is for guards to make it tougher for opposing guards to make entry passes.

Screw it I want to win, pull out the Hack-A-Shaq strategy on him. Send him to line every time he attempts to shoot.
 
15 if you add Diallo.

As others have posted (and me also), Diallo seems extremely unlikely to contribute to RU in any meaningful way this season - it seems clear he is the 11th man on the bench, and the #4 center behind Gettys, Doorson and Sa (Sa is the #1 back-up PF and a back-up C).

Jelly, I was just using Diallo in a Hack a Shaq approach.

While giving Gettys, Doorson / Sa a rest (and protection) if needed.
