Moving him off the ball will help because he just cant beat a pg off the dribble even low level comp. We aren't running high ball screens for him (for some reason) so he really has very little offensive value at the moment.

If he's this fragile, he is going to have a really hard time this season because sec guards will eat him alive.

Like how he got to the rim and finished. Hit his fts and didn’t hesitate drilling a corner 3. Pretty good defensively and waded in for a rebound. Physical strong guard. Be a defensive stopper.

Cut those tos down and he’ll be fine. Emotional leader. Need him in a good frame of mind. Don’t have to press with the emergence of Wilkins and Williams. Just play hard and enjoy it. Tune out the negative fans.

His style is a bully guard, not a finesse guard.
Thus, his errors are more glaring.
He is enduring an adjustment period.
So are the fans.
He wants to be what we need him to be.
Hopefully, he can and will be.
Yeah he seems just a tad slow getting where he wants to go. Needs to build a little more dart to his game. Think he has the athletic ability just has a slog style of dribble.

Diallo was always fine. It's just the impatient village idiots that thought he was broken or not capable. Good on him for having a strong game. He will continue to improve as the season progresses like all teams/players playing together for the first year do...

“Diallo was always fine” 🤣

He’s still has a lot of work to do to get to fine. Calling other people idiots when you make goofy comments likes this is hilarious.

He still receives the ball turns towards the defense, looks and dribbles. He’s still a liability at this point and not an asset. Dribbles into nowhere and loses the ball. All that was on display last night whether he made a few layups or not.

This isn’t being mean. It’s an honest critique of his game up to this point. Suggesting he’s always been fine isn’t an honest critique, its ludicrous.

Yeah, he just doesn't seem to have the ball handling skills need to be an effective PG. He has the body to be a rim attacking 2 guard like Oweh hopefully.
not just the ball handling, but the decision making and skill. basketball now is like 80% pick and roll offense created somewhere on the court. if you have the ball, and a guy goes under, you need to be able to take and make the shot. if not...the defense has a massive advantage. if you arent a shooter, you better be super fast and can get into the lane to move the defense....like the fears kid out of michigan state who isnt a shooter but will get 8-9 assists per game. diallo has none of that. so him running the offense is going to clog the lane for moreno. and no one needs to help off to stop diallo. its why the first 7 minutes were so terrible on offense. we can get away with it with a team like manhattan, but a 7 minute bad start to a game usually means you are down 10

a poor mans year 1 oweh is a good comp but i dont think diallo is as athletically gifted, explosive.
