Don't get stuck that Alpha Diallo is just another 3 added to Larrier and Jackson. Alpha Diallo can easily play 2G against most teams and slide to the 3 in a 3 guard set a la Jeremy Lamb, or Richard Hamilton. Physically think Kromah or Calhoun. He doesn't shoot as well as Lamb did from deep, and I haven't seen the little tear drop runner, but he is deadly pulling up from 12-15' and very adequate from deep, and a better ball handler than Purvis, Kromah or Calhoun are/were. He can even play spot duty at the point in a pinch like Richard Hamilton did his freshman year when we had injuries, or Daniel Hamilton in high school when there were injuries. He can be a 'utility infielder' to back us up at the 1-4 with the 2-3 being his position He has Kromah's versatility with a better shot and handle. Plus he has a strong will to dig in and fight and would really give us the opportunity to play a pressure defensive package at times like many have wished could return. Plus, he tends to play without fouling. With Brimah, Enoch, Facey, and Gilbert's aggressiveness, is there any chance at least 3 of the 4 won't be on the bench with 2 fouls in the first half. Ollie is going to have many games with strange lineups in the last 10 minutes of the first halves. Daniel Hamilton's versatility to play with the ball or under the backboard allowed us the dimension to adjust to foul trouble in the front court or backcourt, or wing. Given the potential for foul trouble I think a versatile player like Alpha Diallo is a must for 1 of our remaining scholarships, and, like Giffey, I think we would be thrilled with him as years go by. With Hamilton gone I don't view him as being redundant to any player on the team. Our bigs are bigs, our guards are guards, our wings are big wings, we could use a 'Mr Versatility'. Plus he is just plain good enough.
