2020 Draft Profile - Mamadi Diakite

Jeremy Woo - Sept. 16th: "He can shoot a little bit, but isn’t great in any one area, and his post-up touches aren’t likely to translate up a level. So his real value will have to come defensively, where he’s solid around the rim despite not being particularly big for his position, and has pretty solid timing."

NBA Draft Room - July 6th: "Diakite is an energy big who is at his best in the open court and challenging shots at the rim. He’s not a first or second option on offense kind of guy but he’s developing the ability to hit the open shot and he can score at the rim."

NBA Draft Room - May 26th: "A glue guy power forward who does the dirty work. Has mobility, length and a fluid game. Is starting to hit the 3. Very NBA ready, especially on D."

Jeremy Woo - SI - May 6th: "He can shoot a little bit, but isn’t great in any one area, and his post-up touches aren’t likely to translate up a level. So his real value will have to come defensively, where he’s solid around the rim despite not being particularly big for his position, and has pretty solid timing."

Rob Dauster - NBC Sports - Apr. 13th: "Diakite is 23 years old, he’s not overly physical, he has never been a great rebounder and he’s a better rim protector in theory than in practice, so I get it. But also understand that he has been Virginia’s best three-point shooter this season."
