It's possible that my memory is wrong on this, but it fits my agenda so I'll go with it.
I think I remember a point in the UGA game where Dia didn't make a defensive rotation correctly or something around rebounding - something on the defensive end. Beard immediately pulled him and gave him a dress down on the sideline. Dia came back in that game and did some good things, but look at Dia's number since the UGA game.
He's playing 28 minutes per game and averaging 21 and 11.3. He's shooting 61% from 2 taking an average of 7 2s per game and 36% from 3. He also has 5 blocks
In the 14 games prior, he was playing 17 minutes/game and averaging 7 and 5.5. He was shooting 50% from 2 on 4 shots/game and 23% from 3.
In the last 3, he has 19, 7, and 8 rebounds. Before the last 3 games, he only had 7 or more rebounds in 3 games.
The light has really come on for that dude and we are a different team with this version of Dia.
