Moussa Diabate Combine Testing Numbers
I saw this on Twitter. Ratings are among all centers that were tested. Hard to imagine that he will not be drafted with this much athletic potential.
Lane Agility: 11.16 (1st) Shuttle Run: 2.9 (1st by a WIDE margin) 3/4 Sprint: 3.26 (1st)
Standing Vert: 29 (2nd) Max Vert: 36 (1st)
Hope you're right, but think they are both gone. Seems like they'd be real candidates for top half of first round if not lottery picks next year, but also sounds like both have real end of first/top half of second round potential right now.
Welp, bye. To be fair, I don't think he's an NBA center, should probably be compared to the other PF types. But regardless seems increasingly like he's gone which is a huge bummer. He barely scratched the surface of his potential, and likely won't even be taken early and be a bragging point for the program.
Unless pros think he needs more bulk, those results suggest he's worth picking up and developing. Too bad about both him and Houstan, but I suppose that's the downside of attracting the very top HS talent.
I'm kinda surprised 36" is the top max vert.
His freshman year was inconsistent, but his athletic potential was obvious.
We need to focus on more Hunters and less Diabates. Guys with little to no role in the NBA and we can NIL with our moderate money cannon. The game has changed. All high level raw athletes aside 1 a recruiting class should be banned. You win with guard play and 3-4 year players. What anyone from UM does in the NBA is irrelevant. Adjust to the current game. 1 jump out of the gym guy a year, everything else is guys who don't fit the modern NBA aside shooting ala Duncan R.
