Hamidou Diallo looking more likely to remain in 2017 NBA Draft; met with Bulls and Nets

With Hamidou Diallo putting on a show at the NBA Draft Combine, it’s getting more and more likely that he remains in the draft.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Diallo’s looking more NBA-bound after posting some crazy testing numbers ahe combine. That included the highest vertical jump, second-fastest shuttle, third-fastest sprint, and seventh-fastest lane agility time. He also measured in at 6-5 in shoes with a freakish 6-11.25 wingspan.

WDRB’s Rick Bozich spoke with an NBA coach who thought Diallo was staying in the draft:

“The buzz is that he’s a little better than expected,” said one former NBA coach who attended the workouts Thursday.
