hmmmmm....that's a good one.....I've seen more of Howard than Diaw, so I don't know if my opinion would be fair....offensively from what I've seen Diaw seems to be more versatile...but defensively (from what I've seen) Howard is better....I'll go with Boris.
Josh Howard. He's going to be a star. Boris Diaw is a solid player and he's highly skilled. Don't think he'll ever reach all-star level, though.
Josh Howard. Diaw is ridiculously versatile, but he needs to play in a specific offensive system to maximize his potential. I prefer Howard's edge on the defensive end as well.
Both are great players and they also pair up together the same, but as of right now, I go with Howard. Diaw has huge potential. Give him another season with PHX, then we`ll see who`s really best out of the two.
Diaw has much more potential. It depends on what I wanted out of my sf. If I wanted a prototypical guy, then I go with Howard becuase he is such a good rebounder/defender/scorer. If I wanted a guy that can play all 5 positions, is a great passer, and very versatile scorer, I go with Diaw. I would pick Diaw simply because a guy that athletic and versatile is very rare.
I actually see Diaw having a bigger effect this season now that Amare is back. He will have more opportunities to do more things for that team.
Tough choice, I think both are good players and have a good future ahead of them. Josh Howard is a better penetrator, I don't know which of them has a better jumpshot. Diaw is a better passer/court vision. Josh Howard probably is a better perimeter defender, while both are decent post defenders. I think I would choose a different player depending on what the team.
