NBA Comparison: N/A

Stefan Lorenz – 9/20/2006

Strengths: Diot is a long point guard with excellent decision-making ability and control of the game. His style of play is similar to Theo Papaloukas of Greece, because hes very crafty with the dribble and seems to slip by defenders. He is very heady, and makes his teammates better with the pass. Hes great with ball fakes, and his long wingspan helps him get off shots around the basket and disrupt passes on defense. Hes a consistent shooter from the corners and can hit the three. Hes a reliable ball handler and a team leader on and off the court.

Weaknesses: His athleticism is the biggest concern at the next level. His foot speed is certainly average, but not as bad as some report, but his vertical leap is quite small. His height and length make up for a lot against his age group, but this wont take him to the NBA. He often gets beat off the dribble by quicker players, but has the size to guard the 2 so maybe he can adjust. Some NBA scouts believe hes not a legitimate prospect for the NBA, but he has the basketball intelligence to make it and hes still young.
