Yes, I just randomly thought of him and I was looking at his DX mock projections throughout his career. At the start of his Freshman year he was projected to go #2 overall.

I have watch a lot of video on Diallo today and if i was the Jazz i would guarantee him the 24th pick and draft him. He is not a great shooter at the moment but he is andrew wiggins 2.0. He would also fit the mold of a home run swing. The dude has the potential to be special.
DeShawn Stevenson 2.0

I can't find deshawn's measurements anywhere. His career stats are interesting. 36% from 3 but an awful 52% from charity stripe

Sorry those number are his final year. 34% from 3 and 69% from free throw.
To be honest I don't see the comparison with diallo

Stevenson had a decent career. How do you consider him a bust?

He had a lot of hype coming out of school. He ended up being a decent role player for a few random years.

I agree that Diallo is special. I'd be willing to take him at 24 if he's there. He's got more handle and quickness than Deshawn, but he's not nearly as big as Wiggins.
His measurements are comparable to Alec Burks -- 6'6" with a 6'10" wingspan.

If Diallo busts it will be for the same reason as Archie Goodwin. He needs to show he's got a jumper, that he's coachable and that he'll lock in defensively. But he's got big-time athleticism.

Hope so.
This little video isn't bad.

Bam could become a four, but he ain't one now.
He is way more comfortable shooting face up than back to the basket, but he has no handles and his hands are bad.
A lot of potential but very raw.
Diallo is special. I'd peg him around 17/18 in this draft and lottery in the next.

If there is a question whether a guy is a four or a five they will almost always be better at the five.
Not sure I like the idea of drafting bam if we are trying to play him at the four.
If we want a guy with big muscles take Semi... really like his game. Think he could be a steal.
