If Kentucky can land Diallo, he would profile as a potential starter in the back court next season for the Wildcats. As a sophomore at Washington this year, Diallo averaged 15.7 points and 4.5 rebounds per game.
Diallo’s scoring efficiency improved significantly as a sophomore. He brought his true shooting percentage up over 56% this past season after he was closer to 52% as a freshman with the Huskies.
This is an important offseason for head coach Mark Pope, who is entering his third year at the helm in Lexington. During his first 2 seasons in charge, Kentucky has gone just 20-16 in SEC play.
