Diop needs to watch his diet. I hope he avoids eating troubles that plagued certain players and nearly ruined their careers (Oliver Miller). And I love Diop working in Cleveland. With Big Boozer, King James and Little Juanny pumping all that iron, if I were Silas, I'd get Diop in there too. I liked the leaner Diop we saw this season. Now he needs to get more muscle.

As far as players reaching their potential, that's really subjective. It's easier to say if a player has covered less ground, "he has a far way to go." Perhaps that is true. But perhaps the guy went as far as he can already. And a player with some spark may have maxed out or maybe he still has some tricks up his sleeve. I understand people use "mental projections" but that's a very spacey way of judging things (almost like using the stars to judge people, it's not so objective, eh).

I say Diop can get better because of his poor diet and not lifting weights. Those 2 things alone will improve him as a player. And as far as skills go, Diop can get better too. In fact, the whole Cleveland team can improve their shooting, so I'm looking for the entire team to get better realy.
