Diallo has been a force, and Reeves a revelation. With inexperience plaguing the point guard position, Diallo delivered ten assists in the season’s first two games — and he’s added 43 points and 21 rebounds for good measure. A career sub-25% shooter from 3-point range prior to the 2018-19 campaign, Diallo has shined from long range as well, making 8-14, including 5-9 in a 27 point, 10 rebound, five assist effort in Friday’s loss to Wichita State.
Foul trouble may have been the only thing keeping Reeves from back-to-back 25+ point games to start his Friar career. After a 29 point debut against Siena in which he made ten straight shots from the field (most from long range), Reeves finished from long distance and in transition Friday night.
