PUTNAM — Kentucky guard and former Putnam Science Academy stand-out Hamidou Diallo made a dream become reality June 21.
The New York native heard his name called at the Barclays Center for the NBA Draft when he was selected in the 2nd round, 45th overall by the Brooklyn Nets.
The 6-foot, 5-inch guard out of Kentucky’s homecoming reunion would be cut short as Diallo was traded to the Charlotte Hornets. The moves wouldn’t stop there for Hamidou as he later in the night was shipped to the Oklahoma City Thunder via trade.
“What a special day for Hamidou Diallo, his family and Putnam Science Academy,” said PSA Head Coach Tom Espinosa. “Words can’t describe how proud we are of him.”
Diallo is the all-time leading scorer in Putnam Science Academy history with 1,415 career points. Diallo is the first PSA Mustang to be drafted in the NBA.

Local radio legend and owner of WINY radio, Gary Osbrey, volunteered part of his morning and 40 years of broadcasting experience to 8th graders at Pomfret Community School. After a brief introduction, Gary had the students interviewing him. You could hear a pin drop, as an on the spot interview of Sarah Cleverdon, Social Studies teacher and 8th grade advisor, skillfully unfolded. PCS principal, Susan Imschweiler, and the PCS PTO, allocated grants to fund the Eagle’s Lens — a first of its kind at PCS 60 Minutes-ish TV news show focused on the PCS community. Students will be handling as much of the production as possible from scripting to filming to graphics to editing to interviewing, and as the episodes number up, teaching the next crop of talent.
