Really athletic for a center. Needs to get more minutes. I am wondering if it has taken him longer to recover from the injury and that is why his minutes have been limited until last night
More Diallo Please

It is probably a variety of things.
For one, learning to play in the concept of the offense.
Also, Gettys had had better matchups for most of our wins.
it was awesome to see Diallo last night. Hopefully it continue.

He played well yesterday and there is a use for him in certain situations. More often than not, Gettys, Sa, and Doorson will be better options.
I was on the Diallo train, but now I think Sa is best answer. I really like it. SHU was getting a ton of offensive rebounds in the first half and Sa helped change the tone.
Gettys had a hard time against Miami and seton hall. I think we see more Diallo against big ten teams.
When was the last time when we had a thread calling for more playing time from the 6th person off the bench? I love this team.
Again,,,Gettys is who he is. He is the best RIGHT NOW or coach wouldnt be playing him,.
When Sa, diallio or Doorson step up,,,they will get more minutes,,,

I like what I saw from him. I hope that Coach Pikiell continues playing him
Agreed. Even though Gettys was great out of conference, he'll have a tough time in B1G play. Love the kid's passion. Hopefully Sa, Diallo, or Doorson can develop and step up. They more than likely have more athletic potential than CJ
Well....to be honest....only LFBall was calling for more playing time......lol
The problem with having two center types on the court at the same time is the lack of scoring which is Rutgers biggest problem.Sharing playing time and fouls on defense is a positive if used wisely and against opponents where the scoring weakness can be overcome with the 3 other players on the court.
At least Rutgers has a problem. In years past Rutgers not only didn't have a problem it couldn't even ask the question.:joy:
More than matchups. It is mostly about who earns minutes.
Diallo has shown the staff something that has made him earn minutes. It wasn't because we were playing Delgado and Seton Hall. If the rotation becomes 11 that doesn't mean a matchup might dictate him getting more or less minutes.
It will be interesting if Pikiell goes with 5 bigs in the rotation OR Doorson and Diallo battle for the 5-10 minutes that position gets.
for sure. But it is still matchup dependent. Neither Doorson or Gettys were a good match up for Delgado. Diallo was the better matchup because he can move his feet more, and get off the ground.
There were times when his lack of minutes showed. Too much space was given to Delgado on 2-3 drives on Diallo.
