Looking Forward
Diabate is an energy big out of Michigan. He is very lengthy and is a fluid mover. He is a bit under weight, but his frame should be able to support additional strength. Despite idea weight, Moussa is a pretty aggressive finisher. He has some touch and uses his elbows to create space. He isn’t able to be a primary rim protector right now, which really hurts his stock. Would likely have to be a 5, but doesn’t posses “plus” rim protection to make up for his strength. That also impacts his less-than-ideal rebounding. Doesn’t space the floor far, yet. Okay mid range game, but isn’t hitting the long ball. Best served (based solely on skill) to return.
