Despite the loss, Diene was the most intriguing prospect on the floor while racking up a double-double of 11 points and 11 boards. The junior forward showed outstanding versatility, doing bits of everything on both ends of the floor. More of a natural post, he’s developed a robust skillset as a comfortable ballhandler and passer from the perimeter with soft touch as a floor-spacer out to 3. He was a sturdy presence defending the paint and showed good pursuit while rising up with strong hands for high-point rebounds. Despite a bigger body, Diene is light on his feet with swift body control as a finisher in traffic. While a bit under the radar and still refining his overall game, he’s one of the more talented forwards in the state with a chance to generate buzz at the D1 level.
