Hamidou Diallo
Position: SG College: Kentucky Class/YOB: Freshman
Height: 6’6 Weight: 197 Wingspan: 7’0
Strengths:
- Top-of-the-line run and jump athlete.
- Good slasher. Gets by defenders and can sky over help defenders.
- Should be a plus defender. Solid length. Isn’t always impactful, but had games at Kentucky where he locked down other wings.
- Freak in the open court. Due to his bounce and burst, he is a problem in transition.
Weaknesses:
- Suspect shooting. Percentages took a serious hit as the year progressed. Doesn’t have confidence in it.
- Poor passer. Doesn’t have a feel for making plays for others.
- Struggles to finish over length. Shouldn’t be an issue with his athleticism, but he misses some point blank looks when there is size around.
- Lack of effort. Fell out of Coach Cal’s grace by the end of the year. Will he put in the work to become a viable NBA player.
