As a player, Diallo is an explosive athlete with good size at the two-guard position. He's able to blow by, or practically jump over, almost any defender he faces at this level. What's scary is that he's really only just scratching the surface of his potential.
From a skill standpoint, Diallo has worked hard to improve his three-point shooting and that continues to be an ongoing process. He's also learning to utilize his athleticism in the mid-range game, in terms of his ability to rise up in traffic. Overall, his total skill set needs to continue to develop as does his general understanding of the game. Right now, when he decides he's going to score, he puts his head down and flies to the rim as quickly as he can. Once he further develops the different elements of his scoring arsenal, then he'll have to learn to utilize that versatility by reading the defense, making good decisions with his shot selection, learn the nuances of timing and how to score within the flow of a half-court offense.
