#12•M. DIAKITE

F/C • 6'9, 224 lbs; 3rd year, Virginia

UNDERDOG

NBA ROLE: (RAW) ATHLETIC, UTILITY FORWARD

 

Mamadi Diakite: an invaluable role player during Virginia’s run to the top in 2019; much improved outside shooter - good pick & pop option, can drive it from the 3-point line and score if a defender closes out; athletic, though slightly undersized 4/5 in the league - Diakite hustles defensively & competes on the glass; versatile defensive potential - eventually able to cover 3-5?; keeps getting better offensively: decent midrange game, needs to further develop action facing up & find a couple go-to moves after posting; on 2Way contract -Diakite seems like an NBA role player, good pickup by CLE: reps another potential 3&D talent


SIGNATURE! COMING SOON.
