Not sure if we're "specifically" targeting African bigs, but what I do know is that a lot of these kids that come over to the states are really humble by the opportunity. They value education, work hard, and for the most part don't really give any problems. That's all you can ask if your b-ball coach.
 
All three would be good additions and I'll break it down like this.
 
Goodluck-Great shot blocker who can change the game in a big way if he was to man the middle of the zone. Offensive game needs to improve as far as creating offense for himself, but he's a very good passer and with a good PG, he could do well off the catch n finish inside.
 
Diallo-Has the best motor out of the three and gets up n down the court very well. I compared him to BMK, but with much higher upside because he can be effective in a big way on both ends of the floor.
 
Diagne-Saw him battle against Roberson, and even though he struggled to score against him(obviously not an easy thing to do). I was very impress with the way he was aggressive on offense, showcasing some post moves for somebody who hasn't even been in the states for a year. Showed a good motor, rebounded, and blocked shots as well. Seems to be the type that will only get better over time. Being from Senegal, I'm sure the staff will have BMK(also from Senegal) help out in this one.
 
Getting Goodluck in 14 and either Diallo or Diagne in 15, will be very very sweet for the team.
