NY Prep Star Hamidou Diallo declares for the NBA draft.

Let's be real... He took himself out of the draft because no team guaranteed him he would be their first round choice and he needed that guarantee. He had some projections but no real guarantee. He would not be ready next season for the NBA and would have sat a year or two with whatever team drafted him.
As a first round pick... you can afford to do that. As a second rounder, you have no guarantees that you will have that luxury.

Yes and we knew that, smart and the only move on his behalf.

With that said, nothing impressive from the vid that was posted earlier. Most high level pro prospects can do that.

This was probably one of the deeper drafts we've seen over the last decade. He was smart to move to this year's draft.
