He is very skilled and has a high motor.What he lacks right now is a decent jumpshot.He can average at least 15 ppg next season.
Diallo could possibly be more explosive then Monk.
- Thread starter smooth as butter
- Start date
Yep. He may be a better shot blocker that Anthony Davis too.
You mean he can't get traction and will slide all over the place?! How has this not made it into a scouting report?
People are underestimating this kid and the impact of being on campus almost a full year before the season begins.
And the defense this guy can play if he puts his mind to it? Mercy.

And so the outrageous overstatement and and unreasonable expectations begin. These to be followed by morose accusation and Calipari recriminations immediately following the first loss.
Wash rinse, repeat.

Outrageous overstatements and OP go hand in hand
Had a deer run out in front of me on a four lane tonight. Size of a small pony. Scared me 3/4 to death.
If Diallo is that fast, watch out.

Explosive as in getting to the rim and athleticism? Probably, not seeing why people think that's hyperbole but he's probably not going to be as explosive as a scorer Monk is because of not having a good jump shot.
i always read your posts in dave chapelle's "lil jon" voice lol
Gone to where? Europe? He won't turn 19 until July 31 which means he is ineligible for the NBA draft.
Hope Briscoe and Humphries come back to help these youngsters, a team of 6-7 freshmen, Cal is gonna get a lot of grey next year but who knows maybe they'll win it all

opcorn:Play defense and rebound and guess what...you don't have to bank your entire season on someone hitting 3s. Some of you just wish we just played for the national horse title.
Without jumping on your case he may not be as good of a shooter but Monk was streaky...but he most likely will be great at attacking the basket in the dribble drive.
It was fat like a pony, long like a tiger. I don't know man; it's all a blur now.
Diallo will be the first player to ever win the NBA MVP award while still in college. How ya been smooth?
Even better he is faster than Fox, a better shooter than Lamb, owns the paint like Cousins, blocks shots like Davis, is more intense than Ulis, and has a better motor than MKG.
Only time will tell, but someone told me he's a bigger beast than Matt Pilgrim.
I did a google search on Matt Pilgrim once and discovered he roundhouse kicked Chuck Norris because Chuck fouled him.

From what I have seen and heard of Diallo, he's more a Kidd-Gilchrist type, great height, length, and athleticism- excellent driving ability, finishes above the rim- great on-ball defense. But his biggest issue is his lack of shooting ability and strength. I'm sure the head start has helped him with strength and conditioning, so I'm not even concerned about that. The big question remains his shooting. We all know what teams will do with a guy who is a great slasher but can't shoot. We've seen it many times before.
You have to be 19 in the calendar year of the draft , not before the draft. He's definitely draft eligible.
