NBA Comparison: Bob Lanier Strengths: Sagana Diop is a very athletic big man. he’s close to 300 pounds and runs the floor like a small forward. he’s very fast. coming from senegal, africa, he’s only been playing competitive basketball for a few years so he figures to get a lot better. right now his best asset is his defense. he can hold opposing centers virtually scoreless with his smothering style of defense. he is a very good shot blocker, and can also help out and block other opposing players shots. Weaknesses: he is not super polished offensively.
NBA Comparison: Tim Duncan Strengths: One of the top overall talents in college basketball already… Has all the makings of a future NBA superstar.. Only 18, and has a ton of physical developing to do, a scary thought… Can stroke shots all the way out to college 3… Similar to A-Rahim with his smoothness, and offensive skills, but has even more athleticism.. Very strong post and intermediate game… Has excellent rebounding and defensive skills.. Very calm court demenor, (similar to Tim Duncan) doesn’t get rattled easily..
