“Diallo is a walking basket thanks to his outstanding shot mechanics and touch from different spots on the floor. His ability to find an open pocket of space and stop in a split-second to elevate into his pull-up jumper is advanced. He’s got a strong frame, constitutes a multi-level threat, displays excellent economy of motion and moves with purpose.”
