athletic wing with high-upside, but still proving it at BYU
Diomande is a long, versatile forward who brings defensive activity, rebounding effort, and flashes of scoring upside, but his current BYU role has been modest, with 1.9 points and 1.3 rebounds per game in the 2025-26 season[14][18]. His value is more about projection than production right now: he has a history of stronger output in youth and international play, including 21.2 points and 12.0 rebounds per game at the 2021 FIBA U16 African Championship, and he has shown he can pop for scoring bursts when given usage[10][9]. For a team looking for size, athleticism, and developmental upside rather than an immediate polished contributor, he is an intriguing fit[12][16].
