2 inches better wingspan, 5 inches better vert.

So yes?

He's an only an inch shorter, but longer and bouncier so no not really.

People might disagree but having one less finger affected his ball skills tremendously

Highschool prospect Gerald Green had better ball skills and more ideal height @ 6'7..Hamidou diallo is extremely raw if compared at same stage of development.

No, Diallo is currently a non-shooter. The most impressive thing about him besides the obvious athleticism is how much he competes on defense for a player of his stature (not something anyone would say about Gerald Green); definite All-Defense potential if he can shoot well enough to stay on the court.

Jumpshot looks a lot better at uk but no in game footage other than a shoot around

He's missing a finger?!

I imagine it would affect his dribbling and ability to control the ball at least some. Maybe a little on his shot?

Diallo is also a great rebounder and likes to post up.

Think he was talking about Gerald Green.

Yeah Gerald Green. Common knowledge. I just don't know if it hurt his potential

Gerald Green is missing like half of his ring finger.

Locked in to the late 1st, imo.

Being a divisive unknown is always better than being a safe option. All it takes is for one team to be high on you to be reached on.

Hamidou's gone out and proved his physical gifts are legit. That's enough for some teams, imo.

He's staying in the draft people. Lock. He's going in the first round.

If it was a lock he'd hire a agent. Cal said he'd only advise him to go if he was 21 22 23 or better. The reason most guys go pro early in for uk are they are lottery, money situation, or nothing that would really improve there spot. Diallo has plenty to prove so that he can earn more guaranteed money and they can invest in him.

I've been saying this before he ever committed to Kentucky. Actually since December, I said he wouldn't play a minute of college ball. He's got NBA tools. Teams that typically pick late in the first round don't get guys with his ability that late.

But unless it's 20 to 23 with a promise he will return. He needs a promise, plus winning a national title will help his draft stock with his tools combined. He's in a unique situation.
