Both are false, but by all means tell me where I'm wrong.

The only one listed with a higher ceiling is maybe Sharpe. Dieng has all the tools to become a top 15 player in the league.

He grew into his game a lot over the season and showed plenty of ability to put the ball on the floor and be a secondary playmaker off of this. His shot improved significantly over the season and I think it got close to 40% from three over the second half of the season. Played in a much more physical league than Daniels and showed a much greater ability to get to the rim and finish through contact.

Defensively just as switchable as everyone in this range just with the most athleticism and length. Better at altering shots than pretty much all non centers in the draft.

I have no clue where your lack of physicality statement came from. Yes he needs to gain strength but what 6’10 19 year old doesn't. Atleast he showed the willingness to play through contact which most guys in this range haven’t.

Yes hes raw, but everyone other player in the draft is raw compared to their long term potential. You are drafted due to the tools you have and thats why hes flown up boards from an unknown to a potential top 10 pick in less than a year.

Source, I stay up late enough where NBL is the only thing on TV. I can also tell you about the Australian Soccer league if needed
