The NBA next week will announce the list of participants for the upcoming NBA Draft Combine in Chicago, where approximately 60-70 players will be invited to play in front of all 30 teams.
“I guess someone would take a flyer in the second round but only if he got into Chicago for the Pre-Draft Camp and competed,” one NBA executive told FanRagSports.com.
If the high-flying Diallo is invited and then impresses at the combine, he could move up from a late-first/early-second-round pick. Conversely, if he doesn’t attend or attends and doesn’t play well, it could hurt his stock.
Some think he should spend a year at Kentucky under John Calipari and help transform himself into a lottery pick in the 2018 Draft.
“That is what he should do,” a second NBA scout said. “He’ll play on a big stage. All their players are gone and there’s an opportunity to be a star. That equals [being a] top pick [if] he plays at a high level.”
Diallo plans to see what the next few weeks bring and go from there.
