Diener showed once again this summer why he’s one of the best shooters in Kansas. Playing alongside an impressive cast of talent for KC Run GMC , he consistently provided floor spacing and knocked down a high percentage of his perimeter looks. His ability to carry his shooting wherever he goes continues to impress, and spending time playing off the ball should only help his long-term development into a more complete offensive player.

While I’m sure he would have liked to be more of a focal point offensively and have the ball in his hands more, the level of talent around him and the competition he faced should pay dividends moving forward. I think you’ll see a much tougher overall cover at Shawnee Mission Northwest this winter, as he’ll have the keys to the offense and should emerge as one of the team’s top scorers and creators.
