low-usage South Alabama guard with defensive grit and limited offensive footprint
In the 2012 South Alabama season, Jose Diaz was a deep-rotation guard who appeared in 14 games and produced modest numbers: 0.9 points, 0.4 rebounds, 0.4 assists, and 0.1 steals per game, with a 20.0% three-point mark and 40.3% true-shooting rate. The stat line says “limited role,” but the real fit question is whether a team needs a compact, effort-first guard who can bring energy, stay ready, and survive in short bursts rather than carry an offense. He looks more like a hustle-and-depth piece than a featured backcourt engine.
