6-foot-11 rim protector with stretch potential, now looking to carve out a bigger role at Southern Miss
Fallou Diagne is a big-bodied center whose value comes from length, interior size, and a track record of contributing in limited minutes rather than high-usage scoring; at Western Kentucky in the 2022-23 season he averaged 2.6 points and 1.0 rebounds in 6.9 minutes per game, and in the 2023-24 season his production stayed modest at 2.4 points per game, but he has shown enough touch to hit threes at a workable clip in past seasons, which gives him a slightly more versatile profile than a pure paint-only big. He looks like a fit for teams needing developmental frontcourt depth, with upside tied to health, consistency, and whether he can turn his size into steadier rebounding and interior impact.[1][7][11][13]
