What is Diante Garrett’s role?

[gocy444]

He’s always super involved with the bench and on social media media. Almost seems like a veteran presence kinda guy. Would love to hear him on a CF pod. Love DG, wish he could’ve had more time under Fred.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Probably spends a lot of time with the guards.

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

I think he even practices with the guards. Talk about awesome way to accelerate growth.

 

[Kaner04]

I assume it’s guard development

Guarantee he runs in scrimmages with them in the summer. Barely 2 years removed from a 14 year pro career and he just seems like a guy who eats, sleeps and breathes basketball.

Works with the guards and keeps that Milwaukee player pipeline pumping

 

[CycloneT]

Hes also the ringer for when the managers play each other the night before games

Pretty sure he was extremely close with and played w Yusef Gray Sr as a kid.

If the other managers are not going to do scout that’s on them.

A Diante podcast would be pretty cool

 

[WISCY1895]

My guess is you guys are right that he is focused on guard development. We are on borrowed time with Blount on the staff so guessing he takes over Wisconsin recruiting when JR gets a head coaching job

 

[Nor'MidWester]

To be hype on the bench.

Same high school too, I believe.

 

[Clonefan32]

Guessing he does player development work with the guards in practice, but in game he seems to have taken over from Hawley as the head of good vibes.

 

[2020cy]

To make half court shots After the team warms up, like the last home game.

 

[Chizit]

Idk but just glad that he has a role on a team like this and gets to feel some success in the cardinal and gold. One of the best cyclones, always a little sad he never was on a tourney team

In pregame warmups before the Colorado game he drained a shot from the far free throw line.

This is an awesome point. He deserved more as a player, and now he's getting a taste of it as a coach.
