7-foot Rim Protector Trying to Carve Out a Role for Rider
Mohamad Diallo is a 7-foot, 230-pound senior forward for Rider who has flashed a defensive/rebounding base and the size coaches can’t teach, but his current production is still limited by a very small 2025-26 sample (22 points and 22 rebounds in 5 games). He looks like a fit for a team that needs length, interior presence, and a projectable frame, though his offense has yet to separate him as a reliable nightly scoring option. If you want upside, size, and development runway, he’s worth a look; if you need proven two-way consistency right away, he’s still proving it.
