Diallo is a mobile center who can dominate both sides of the ball with his lengthy frame and finish with power around the basket. He will give the Frogs an instant impact on the interior.

Malick Diallo put up impressive numbers for Mali at the FIBA U17 World Cup, with 20 points, 19 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks and steals per-40. He has a unique skill-set with his ability to push off the glass, pass on the move and beat defenders off the bounce. Highlights: pic.twitter.com/n8Hr4Sb6eK
