He's an inch shorter than Diener and weighs 5 pounds more. That isn't much difference. People criticized TJ Ford's height just the same, and he turned out fine. You never gave a reason besides height.

All the PGs are undersized around our draft position
They might be short, but Ty Lawson and DJ Augustin are both strong, and Collison's extremely fast and has the athleticism to allow him to play larger than his height.

so I believe we should focus on PF or C this draft
Easier said than done. Do you really want Brook Lopez, Blake Griffin, or Roy Hibbert over any of the three above? Even DeAndre Jordan doesn't look very promising.

and see what Diener develops into before we decide he isn't a starter.
He's a third stringer on a decent team with healthy PG's. Unfortunately for us, he's the only actual PG on this roster. Yes, he's been a starter for a while, but when someone of his caliber is playing big minutes, you always want to upgrade, just the same as we should draft guys to get minutes over Murphy and Foster.

Quote:
(and yes he is better than Murray, our coach is just stupid for starting him over Diener)
At least Murray can hit a shot witin 12 feet.
