Boston has Big Al and Perkins, the latter being a good defender and rebounder, and while the former struggles on the defensive end, he's more polished with 1 year of NBA experience than these Phoenix scrubs. If Diogu put up 37 and 12 against Jason Maxiell, Dwight Howard, or even DJ Mbenga, I'd be more excited. But these guys are a bunch of scrubs.
You'd be more excited if the competition was better? Wow, i wouldn't haved guessed it!

Like i said it's OBVIOUS that these guys are not the true NBA level competition that Diogu will face in the regular season. We ALL know that. It's too easy to just keep saying that. You can name names and tell me the strengths and weaknesses of every man on every roster in every summer league and it all just boils down to what we ALL know and that's that the competition is sub-par. But still, getting 37 and 12 is a positive IMO. It's not mind-blowing and the world won't stop because of it, but like i said again, if you can't look past the fact that the competition is sub-par then you WILL NOT be able to find anything positive in these games.
