Are you expecting actual good players with 53 and 57?

Trade can't be completed till July 6th since Diallo was selected with a pick that was traded to Brooklyn in the Dwight Howard deal, so I'm assuming details won't be out for a while?

Thanks.
What do you expect/hope what we send out?
I guess it is a 2019 unprotected second round pick.

“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

I think he was hoping we'd trade up or something.

Why he fits: Diallo is the prototype for what NBA teams are looking for at the wing position, standing 6-6, with a near 7-foot wingspan, a frame that will fill out in time and thermonuclear athleticism. His shooting mechanics are far from broken, and he showed marked improvement with his jumper over the past two years, completely revamping his mechanics. He has always been described by those around him as an incredibly hard worker who has little interests outside of basketball. Diallo's defense was inconsistent, but he improved as the year moved on; late in the season, Diallo had some remarkable stretches where he looked like one of the best wing defenders in the college game.
Despite spending a year and a half in Lexington, Diallo still hasn't turned 20. Considering his offensive limitations, there's a case to be made that he was in one of the worst situations of any prospect in this draft in terms of highlighting his deficiencies, playing the shooting guard position while being surrounded by non-shooters.
Drawbacks: Diallo was far from a productive player this past season, looking borderline unplayable at times during the SEC conference slate. His feel for the game leaves a lot to be desired, as evidenced by him averaging more turnovers than assists this season, a testament to his unrefined ball-handling ability and court vision. Diallo's 62 free throw percentage was not encouraging despite showing improvement as a shooter overall this past season, hinting at his struggles with the mental side of the game, especially in terms of how much his confidence fluctuates. Although Diallo could potentially be a great defender in time, he was inconsistent in this area at Kentucky, not always playing with the type of intensity level you'd like to see.
