His defense is solid too. He fights and is mobile
If he progresses, watch out stating next year or soon thereafter
Just watch Diawara's feet. That's the tell. We can see the wingspan, athleticism, glide, an almost perfect NBA build, good instincts on both ends and already a soft touch. But it's the feet that show his upside.
Compared to Hukporti's footwork, it's like comparing Fred Astaire to a waterbug.
Good stuff on the feet.
Huk has good drop footwork but I haven't watching them otherwise. I thought his would be decent but I haven't really payed attention

Huk knows how to peel off towards the basket on the PnR. That was probably the first thing I noticed that he did well early last season.
But he also has overly happy feet like he's playing chopsticks with his big toes.

Diawara is more fluid by nature.

Develop them both if you can even if I think Diawara is the one with the major 2-way upside.

Same. And I’d guess that Diawara is still very underdeveloped physically, like he can add a ton of strength and some explosive quickness on his frame. We shall see
