Steve Kerr is a class act

Instead of taking just trying the bash the Hawks he shows that Boris didn't work for us and immediately shows that we made some good move too.

The team that won the Pacific last season – the Phoenix Suns – may have found a gem in Boris Diaw. After two nondescript seasons with the Atlanta Hawks, Diaw came to Phoenix in the Joe Johnson sign-and-trade and has quickly found a home playing for Mike D'Antoni.

Diaw is a rare talent – he's 6-foot-9 and handles the ball beautifully – but he doesn't shoot well. In Atlanta, he played point guard and struggled to make an impact because of his poor outside stroke, but D'Antoni plays Diaw off the bench at either the four or five position to take advantage of his speed and ball-handling skills.

Being surrounded by the Suns' shooters has made Diaw a lethal threat. He has continually driven around bigger defenders for easy hoops, and his size and ability to defend the low post allows D'Antoni to expose mismatches with Diaw's speed at the big positions, much like Shawn Marion. Diaw finished one rebound shy of a triple-double in the Suns' loss to the Sacramento Kings on Sunday night.

Diaw's old team in Atlanta made a terrific offseason acquisition of its own in Zaza Pachulia. The former Milwaukee Bucks center now starts for the Hawks, providing Atlanta with the kind of blue-collar big man every young team needs. Through four games, Pachulia is averaging 13 points and eight boards and anchoring the defense. While his offensive skills need work, Pachulia is tough and a very good foul shooter, making 19 of 22 free throws on the young season.
