Boris Diaw
PF, 6’8, 250lbs, 35 years old, 14 years of experience
Diaw is pretty slow by this point, and his numbers across the board were his worst since his rookie season. His transition defence was a problem, he did not defend the rim, he did not spot up well, and offensively his own scoring is now next to nothing. Luckily, the ability to read defences out of pick-and-roll plays and from the post do not decline like foot speed does. Diaw is still savvy, and while he should move into a deep bench role hereafter, he has one to play given the way he reads the court.
Player Plan: Has an unguaranteed $7.5 million deal. No reason to keep him around for that much, and at this point, Diaw is a minimum or near-minimum player only.

Biyombo is as raw as anyone except the similarly named Qatari guy, to whom we will soon arrive. But he's come very far very quickly, as explained here. His development will take a while, but Charlotte has got a while. And at the very least, Tyrus Thomas gets to be a regular NBA starter now. (Also note: lest there were any doubt, Boris Diaw is now a goner.)
