He was the only UK player who declared for the draft that was not invited. I imagine that was crushing to his NBA hopes. It's possible some team will pick him up but IMO unlikely. Overseas options are still open but I'm hoping he will return. Maybe that is selfish on my part but I think that may be the best option available to him.

Article also talks about his inconsistency, something that Tip mentioned on here a day or so ago. Domain members are always ahead of the curve.

I don't think there is a question now, his best option is to stay with the Cats and work on his game but you never know for sure what he might do.

Hopefully he will use another season of college basketball to work on the things he needs to be ready for the next level. I am suprised they invited Vanderbilt with his limited amount of playing time and injuries. I read where Diallo will not go through the combine work outs this year, don't know if that is a good idea for him or not?????

Diallo went through the workouts last year, and his physical abilities are now well established. I doubt he will hurt himself by not participating again this year.

I am also surprised that Vanderbilt wasn't told to come back and play a full year. He hardly had time to get into game-shape before he was injured again!
