Diamon Simpson shows many facets
Like a jewel with many facets new Alaska Aces import Diamon Simpson proved to be a multi-talented player who could do many things to help his team.
With a PBA-certified height of six feet, five and three-fourth inches Simpson was big enough to bang bodies with Alaska bigs Sonny Thoss and Sam Eman. He was also quick enough to beat Alaska wingmen Mark Borboran and Jeff Cariaso with dribble drives to the hoop. And when the lane was closed he had the touch to sink outside shots including a few triples.
At the defensive end Simpson was a tireless rebounder, worked hard to box out and relentlessly pursued every loose ball.
I am very excited to be playing with the Alaska Aces, said Simpson after the Aces completed their practice. They are very athletic. They are very competitive. I like it a lot. I enjoy working with them and I know we can get the job done.
Simpson said he already had a long talk with Alaska coach Tim Cone and he was aware of the high expectations that everybody has for the team. He said he was confident of being able to help the team achieve its goals.
He (coach Tim) told me to come in and help them win. So I am going to do my best, said Simpson. I know that this team wants to win a championship this conference and I hope to help them achieve that goal. I cannot wait to compete at that level.
Simpson hit the ground running almost literally. He arrived in the Philippines Sunday evening on Mar. 7. He had a restful sleep then reported for the Alaska practice at the Reyes gym at 12 noon Monday, Mar. 8. Simpson attended the players and coaches meeting and then went on to do the drills and scrimmages at 1 to 3 p.m. in the afternoon.
