Hamidou Diallo says no NBA Draft decision has been made; shines with unreal vertical and wingspan

Hamidou Diallo is doing and saying all the right things at the NBA Draft Combine.

The doing involves Diallo recording the highest vertical jump, which was an eye-opening 44.5 inches. It’s the second-highest vertical in combine history behind Kenny Gregory (45.5 inches).

Diallo also opened eyes with his 6’11.25-inch wingspan, the longest of any guard at this combine, and one of the best ever recorded at the event.

The guys at DraftExpress had a favorable review of Diallo’s performance thus far:

Potential preps to pros prospect Hamidou Diallo, who took a detour to Kentucky before re-emerging here, measured 6'5 in shoes with a 6'11.
