PSA alum enters draft

Putnam Science Academy alum enters the NBA draft but will not hire an agent during this process. Hamidou Diallo announced on Twitter that he will be enrolling in this year’s NBA draft to see where about he would be drafted, go through all the NBA workouts and the combine. This evaluation is to basically get an idea of his value and to pinpoint his strengths and weaknesses that he will need to work out. It is expected that he will most likely return to the University of Kentucky where he looks to lead a loaded recruiting class under coach Calipari, with his star-studded teammates, Quade Green, Nick Richards, PJ Vanderbilt, and Shai Alexander. The team is still trying to land No. 2 center Mo Bamba for next year as well.  Hamidou is still following his plan of enrolling as a student early, getting familiar with the Kentucky System, hitting the gym hard in practices, and expected to be looked at as the key guy for next year’s Big Blue Nation.
