When the Detroit Pistons first traded for Hamidou Diallo I thought that they got a steal.
Diallo is an ascending player who has gotten better every season that he’s been in the NBA and looked like he was on the cusp of a breakout with the Thunder.
Svi Mykhailiuk was disappointing for the Pistons this season, so it was a win-win to ship him out for a guy with a much higher ceiling.
Diallo didn’t take long to show fans of the Detroit Pistons what he can be, as he strung together four games when he first came that had fans thinking Troy Weaver had found another undervalued talent.
