Rahsool Diggins Videos

There’s something about him that’s intriguing. Like he doesn’t do anything exceptional well, he just doesn’t struggle with anything and never makes mistakes. He’s the type of player that you win conference games with.

Love his game. I can't place who else he reminds me of, aside from AJP, and it's driving me nuts ... he's got the little bit longer frame and arms and definitely not explosive but so crafty and smart.

I really like him a lot as a show runner at the Point.

His layups remind me of MAL’s in HS. They’re not similar in other respects though.

Always like the players who make the game seem deceptively easy. Especially when even after seeing it, you don't know quite how it was done.

I'm using this for my self-assessment of my work performance for 2020. Not my leadoff bullet but I'll sneak it in somewhere.

Sanogo and Javonte Brown Ferguson will love this guy, as will the shooters who'll be open when he drives and draws 2 or 3 defenders. Hope he picks the good guys.

How about, "doesn't excel at anything, but somehow the job gets done" as the opening?

Vs. Neumann Goretti

15 PTS
6 REB
3 AST (4 potential ast/ 1 Foul ast)

5 TO
1 STL
0 BLK

6/10 2FG
0/4 3FG
5/11 FT
  • He has a good escape pivot when he gets cut off or double teamed in the lane.
  • I think he could do a better job looking for passes/scoring opportunities in the secondary break. Not sure if it’s because his team isn’t flowing into offense quick, or if his instinct is to play slow.
  • I’d like to see him get his shoulder lower when he dribbles on his drives.
  • I'd like to see him dribble vs pressure a little better. Good+ but not a great handle for a guard. Fundamentally sound though.
  • Better at 2pt shots than I expected. He'll need to learn to be craftier and use his left hand more at the next level, but the pieces seem to be there to be decent.
  • Just a bad day for shooting and TOs. Looked disengaged and frustrated with his play. Got benched mid-3rd quarter because of it.
  • His defense was atrocious this game. So, so bad. Reaching, lazy matador crap.
  • Missed 5/6 free throws late in the game.
  • Just an uncharacteristically bad game all around. Still looked like the best player on his team though.

  • Really good pass
Neumann Goretti was just the better team. They looked well oiled and took Archbishop out of their rhythm. I can see why they’re the #1 team in the state. They also hit a bazillion 3s early and Archbishop couldn’t buy a bucket all game. They still win if Rashool has even an average game--this was really off, but his team doesn’t have any depth at guard to lead the team when he’s not feeling it. Terrible shooting, TOs, etc. Off day.

Vs Wildwood Catholic (#11 team in jersey fwiw)

14 PTS
5 REB
5 AST (6 potential ast/ 1 foul ast)

3 TO
1 STL
0 BLK

1/5 2FG
2/6 3FG
6/6 FT
  • Had a ton of potential assists for corner 3s this one kid kept missing. That will be a really important piece of our offense if he’s able to draw and kick like that.
  • SnC program is going to do him wonders. If he can learn to play hard for 25 mins a game he’s going to be great.

  • Play of the game was this stepback
Wouldn’t call it a great game going 3/11 from the floor and turning it over 3x. But 6/6 from the stripe is meaningful. Defense was pretty bad again. Led his team well enough--assisted or scored over half their points.
 
I see glimpses of Shabazz in him. Obviously not senior year shabazz yet but has a chance for that. Athletic but not explosive. Crafty with the handle and has the ability to score when not distributing. He doesn’t seem to be fully baked right now - certainly neither was shabazz when he arrived but still is the type of guy you would want to sign 10 out of 10 times

Yea definitely some shabazz like intangibles.
Notice how he always has his head up? He’s been well coached.

Wow, solid comp. Kudos

Loved Sam Cassell....his big smile, his playing...but most of all...it was Sam, almost 30 years ago who labeled UNC as a "wine and cheese crowd"....The Noles first conference game....

“This is not a Duke kind of crowd,” Cassell said. “It’s more like a cheese and wine crowd, kind of laid back.”
 
Rahsool Diggins seems a "pure" PG...there seems to be more blending now of small forwards/guards....I expect we'll see PG's play this year who are 6'6"

Recent COVID era workout. Looks like his body has matured a little.

Great workout. Working on English dribbles and floaters will help him make up for less than elite athleticism. Looks stronger. Tons of 3 pt shooting off the catch and bounce.

First ball for 2021!

Here's Evan Daniels' report on Diggins:

Diggins is a tough, scrappy combo guard that is equipped to score or distribute. Has a wiry build with a quick first step. Plays with pace and changes his speeds. Can really score it, break down defenders and get into the paint. Capable shot maker from mid-range, the next step is continuing to develop his shot from three and gaining strength.

FWIW Snow (the guy who made the crystal ball pick for UConn) says the only team he thinks could beat out UConn is UNC if they offer.
Expand ...
That’s fair, but Dan Hurley has been on him awhile and his track record is good when he picks his guard and outworks everyone else like Bouk and Jackson.

would feel better if UNC had more crystal balls for other 2021 recruits... so far they have 1 commitment from a 4* F and no other crystal balls. but this year theyre bringing in 5* PG caleb love and 4* CG RJ Davis. hopefully love isnt a one and done

I really appreciate all the detail and insight you provide but you are way too nervous on the recruiting front my friend. I get it it’s the KO effect but we have an adult in charge now and we WILL get good quality legitimate basketball players consistently. I feel like you are constantly on edge over recruiting and we will continue to have more misses than hits like almost everyone but Hurley will find players he wants that also want to be here. Have faith in the CEO he rubs an extremely organized ship.

I think bendm has been spot on regarding his level of concern. I don’t get a sense of panic, but from the start, he identified some challenges with this class regarding position needs and location. He’s been locked in on this class and how it’s playing out so far.
 
This just feels like a repeat of last year when we had people panicking and questioning if Hurley was the man for the job, and yet look how that class turned out. Hopefully we've moved past the doubting Hurley part even if people panic too early
