Travis Diener has had a wild offseason, seeing the competition for minutes at point guard stiffen significantly while being left on the sidelines to rehab and recover from surgery to remove bone spurs from his left big toe. Being the solid locker room character that he is, Travis has nothing but praise for the roster moves while accepting the challenge to compete for playing time. If his minutes shrink as expected, at least we can count on Travis to play a positive role with his attitude and effort in the locker room or on the practice court. His number will be called at some point during the season and he will be ready.
