Looking Forward
Diop is a big man playing for Gran Canaria. He has a sound game around the basket. He has post moves and a few solid counters. He will likely continue to be a good finisher around the hoop. He’s okay at finding open teammates—more reactionary than opportunity creation. Should be able to hold up well in terms of banging with other bigs. Prone to turn the ball over. Does not have great vertical lift or pop. Doesn’t project to be a capable floor spacer. Although he is strong and moves well, his defensive timing is less than ideal. Will be a drop big but isn’t a great deterrent. His height will afford him some blocks, but opponents aren’t afraid to attack him. Will commit careless fouls.
