Class of 2017 G Hamidou Diallo (NY) to Kentucky

[jdubs30]

Hed get drafted

He'd be a lotto pick next year, but would not be one this year. Would be interesting to see what he does

 

[Orangefan1]

He's gone

 

[Briancuse]

Good, if he doesn't play for Su, I hope he doesn't play for Paypalcal.

 

[cuse10]

He'll get drafted, but I really hope he improved his game in the time he was at Kentucky. His draft workout went as poorly as it could have gone from a skill set perspective which made him go to college for the period that he did.

[bnoro]

A fitting end.

 

[orangefog]

You would have to think that was the plan all along. I wonder how many classes he went to at UK. I would imagine the only class he took was Jumpshooting 101.

 

[GooseMutt]

Calling his own shots

 

[Melancer46]

Where does he rank among the UK greats?

He is just above Chris Mills.

Probably minored in Charitable Contributions

 

[HOFCeluck]

Good for him.

 

[jgeorge322]

Does he have to return the $ now?

 

[orangefog]

Does he have to return the $ now?

I would suspect he took a decreased rate, because this was the plan all along.

Hami is going to be one of those kids where 10 years from now people will wonder what he is doing for a living. It will be like remember how athletic that kid was. He is going to be a complete flame out in my opinion.

If such a class existed he would fail it. If there was a jump in the air class he would do amazingly well.

I'll honestly be shocked if he doesn't have a long NBA career. He's instantly going to be one of the most athletic players in the league and also has that Westbrook/Faried kind of motor. Guys like that generally will find a role for themselves. In the very least, I think he becomes an Andre Roberson type player.

Is wiggins a good comp?

Im just joking about the $. I wish the kid the best.

I always thought Hami was a Wayne Selden clone.

Nah, Wiggins is a lazy and horrific defender and has wayyyy more offensive skill than Hami.

If Hami turns into a stud, he'll be a two-way stud that greatly developed his offensive game after getting drafted ala Kawhi. Otherwise I think he'll at least be a good defender that you hope learns how to shoot.

 

[CarolinaCuse]

Would this impact Kentucky's APR whatsoever? Seriously, I have no idea.

 

[OrangeDW]

Can't wait until Cal is "all in the videos" at the NBA draft with this kid, while numerous people praise him for it and refuse to see through that BS.

Definitely not. One was a #1 overall pick with a ton of ability and the other can jump high and may sneak into the bottom of the 1st round but is going to struggle to ever make an nba rotation.
