No. 1 - Hamidou Diallo

Based on Milwaukee's needs and fit, the most interesting free agent rumored to attend this workout is Hamidou Diallo. The high-flying wing is about to turn 26 years old and could make some sense for the Milwaukee Bucks if stocking up on wings is still a prominent goal of theirs.

It's no secret that this roster has lacked athleticism for quite some time, and Diallo could help provide it in a big way. The guard has always been known for his leaping ability, which he has used to throw down his share of highlight dunks or swat shots. With athleticism like that, he's a spark who can make a play at any given moment.

At 6-foot-5 with a 6-foot-11 wingspan, Diallo also has solid size and length, which has helped him be a fine enough defender at the NBA level. Another capable wing defender would be a justifiable addition to this Milwaukee roster. The biggest downside with Diallo is that he's never been much of a threat on the offensive end, at least in the NBA, which could limit his impact.

In the G-League, Diallo put together a season that should catch some eyes. He averaged 20.1 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.3 steals per contest. Those are undeniably captivating numbers from the 25-year-old that showcase he can be a jack of all trades on the court. If the Bucks found a way to bring him aboard, it would be a low-risk move to boost their athleticism on the wing.

Although Diallo lacks the shooting and experience that several of these other candidates possess, his electric athleticism, age and versatile defense put him atop of this particular ranking.
