SG Hamidou Diallo (UConn Offer)

[mauconnfan]

Most sites have him at 6'4", though I've seen 6'5" a couple of times.

Even at 6'3-6'4 he's a legitimate 2 guard and his athleticism allows the occasional 3 guard lineup with him a swing. He looks like a player even if he jumps down the '16 but can't imagine how good he will be by '17.

Kid has sick talent, definitely seems Iike Ollie is recruiting him for '16.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Kid takes 3 days to get the ball in the air on his jumpshot... But damn is he athletic

@superjohn you're better than this

I was thinking the same thing. He has a long release but if he's athletic enough too jump over defender oh well. I do like his massive wingspan.

 

[upstater]

What is wrong with you people?

 

[superjohn]

@superjohn you're better than this

I don't get it?

That put back dunk at 1:55 though.......

 

[Rewster]

A measured stroke

I don't get it?

Maybe because this video was already posted last week? That's all I can think of.

How is it that on these tapes every kid looks like Steph Curry? Yet, you can watch an entire season of college basketball
and only see a half dozen real shooters? And by the time the NBA draft comes along, there is maybe three.

Its called advertising and marketing.

I remember watching my first mix tape...

Not sure his stroke is slow or bad at all. Seemed he was open for all of those and took his time, as one reply said "measured". Would have to see him catch and shoot with a closer defender there to see the real deal. Great athlete for his size, thinking 6'3-6'4? Would like to see some handle although I assume decent. Question is can he play the 2 because his game is more suited 3 but not necessarily his size. A big 3 guard line up though he fits for sure.

In order to compare to Brown I would like to see some handle but I can see why possibly they re going this direction. Nice player, love to have him.

 

[Drame]

I like Brown better at this point. He's stronger and can do more with ball. Better ball handler, better at getting into the paint. Don't like Diallos shot, especially as a 170 lb 2 guard. Don't see any reason why we'd be backing off Brown...if thats true.

For some reason it's not posting the image to the thread. Anyway, he just posted this pic with Taliek.

Taliek was around 6'1" - 6'2" so the Hamidou 6'4" - 6'5" measurements seem accurate.

a back court of Diallo and Tremont would be unreal. Diarra, Larrier and Enoch in the frontcourt. Build around those 5 and the tradition continues.

Waters does not sound like he's coming here, let's hope for Gilbert

Gilbert looks really good to me, would be a perfect fit.

I like Gilbert better anyway but that's just me. According to the talk around here, or the lack there of, Gilbert seems more interested in UConn rather than Duke.

Mamadou with the rebound, gives it up to Hamidou, Hamidou on the break, Mamdou streaking down the side, Hamidou with the lob, and what a slam by Mamadou!

 

[David 76]

You didn't want Diarra streaking down the side?

Haha golden opportunity
