Just watch the games, teams consistently target Vogt and our defensive provides help to Vogt. Diarra makes more mental errors, but he is the much better defender (and much better rebounder). |

He can obviously play much better then he has, but that's why I think he has a ton of potential. When he plays mistake free he is excellent, when he plays like normal he is still good enough to be on the court as a backup. The only game lately where he played so bad he didn't belong on the court is against UConn. |

Diarra strength is his help defense and pick and roll defense. 1v1 he usually isn’t as good. He struggles in the post because he can get sealed fairly easy and he gets blown by when he is on the perimeter, because he is face guarding. He also over help a lot.

In a small sample size Diarra’s post up defense is absolutely elite .56 ppp Better then 90% of D1 His spot of defense is .64 He’s only covered the pick and roll man 7 times all year so not enough data |

Doesn’t have to cover the pick and roll man, can hedge then recover. Something Vogt can’t do. Not sure how the data would even calculate stuff like that, if it doesn’t know what he’s supposed to be doing in the first place.

They usually prevent the ball handler from driving to the middle, while the big helps, giving the defender time to recover. They rarely out right switch. Diarra is good at this because he can recover faster.

Small sample size is exactly why you can't use the stats. You make it appear you understand stats but it's obvious you don't. You and Skyblade just throw out stats that attempt to support your position. Diarra is anything but an elite post defender. Average at best
