Ultimateknicks.com Forums: Welcome Mohamed Diawara

Trying to think of a visual body, frame and movement comp —- Chris Boucher is popping into my head but feels like there is someone else I can’t put my finger on it. He kind of runs a little hunchback — maybe a poor man’s Obi when running floor.

Don’t get me wrong Obi is a gazelle but stylistically a weird gate.

Poor man’s Draymond Green?

My new comp is Duop Reath from Portland — very similar looking but didn’t realize Reath already 29 and this kid still 20.

Pacers beat us yet again. Drafted a solid player just a couple of picks later. Taelon Peter who can flat out shoot. Predict he will see minutes next year while Diawara won’t make team.

His semi hunchback look is what reminds me of Batum. Batum was also a physical specimin in terms of wingspan and athleticism who was kind of positionless- could guard 5 positions and sort of play all 5. He was pretty skinny coming into the league and filled out. Diawara can't shoot as well, but if he can figure out how to make a corner 3 he can play a Batum like role.

People are saying he is like a Pascal Siakam
