Hamidou Diallo named “second-round sleeper and steal to watch” by ESPN

Hamidou Diallo had a rollercoaster-ride of a one (and a half?) and done season at Kentucky. We saw flashes of brilliance, specifically in the Monmouth, Virginia Tech, UCLA, and Buffalo games. At other times such as the three Tennessee games, Vanderbilt at home, and Kansas State, Diallo disappeared.

We saw extreme athleticism, but streaky shooting. Above-average defense, but too many turnovers. Very rarely did we see Diallo have a complete game, and as a result, his NBA stock dropped.

He was seen as a first-round lock going into the year, and came out as a solid second-rounder.
