10 Players the Milwaukee Bucks should invite to training camp
By Dalton Sell
Hamidou Diallo
Another rumored player in attendance at the Bucks' Las Vegas workout was Hamidou Diallo.
Throughout his six-year playing career, the most prominent attribute that always stuck out with Diallo was his high-flying athleticism. At any given moment, the guard could detonate for an explosive dunk, leaping out of the gym and being pasted across all of the highlight pages on social media. It was that athleticism that helped him win the NBA's 2019 Slam Dunk Contest.
The Bucks, one of the oldest teams in the NBA, could always use an injection of youth and athleticism into the roster. Diallo, having just turned 26, checks off both boxes. Furthermore, he's a 6-foot-5 wing who was always a stout perimeter defender when he was in the association, something else this team should be stocking up on at the moment.
Diallo showed NBA teams that he still had something to give with an assertive performance down in the G-League last year, averaging 20.1 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.3 steals in 29 games. Those are certainly captivating numbers, and the Bucks, or any other team, may be wise to take an extended look at him in camp because of them.
This is a player who still may have some good NBA basketball left in them.
