Bird seems to love him....but I don't fully trust Bird's judgement anymore. Regardless, do you think Diener will be able to produce in his backup minutes behind Tinsley, or is he going to fizzle out like Sarunas?
I was exaggerating....a lot. At least he'll have his jump shot, though.

Q. As a Travis Diener fan, I am excited in his move to Indianapolis. He's now going to have the chance to showcase his skills in front of a much more basketball-savvy crowd. But I have two questions I would like for you to answer. What did you see in Travis during your pursuit of signing him? Among all of the NBA players you played with or against, who does he most closely resemble? (Enrico from San Jose, Calif.)
A. Travis is the type of player we're looking for in the fact he can shoot the ball, he can get us into our offense, he's quick, he can make plays for other players. I've been following Travis since he was in college and I've always had the utmost respect for his game. He brings a lot of things to our team that we don't have. He sort of resembles Mark Price a little bit. I always had a lot of respect for Mark as far as his ability to dribble the ball, shoot the ball and make plays for other people. Travis has got all those same qualities.
I think he will be solid for us. I was glad to see Bird picked him up but Larry Bird is making Diener seem like a top-notch player. He's a backup point guard at best. But I still like the kid and I think he will add a lot of positive energy to the team and he also helps us with our shooting issue.
