Previously, he has led their junior teams to multiple bronze medals. Standing 6"11" with a wingspan of 7"11" feet, Diop is regarded as one of the most potent players in the Liga ACB and possibly a future National Basketball Association draft selection. Length has been an inevitable problem for his opponents, who have struggled against the pick-and-roll and rebounds.
He is also noted for his raw talent that could grow into a "great basketball body." Balance, footwork, and strength have remained intangibles for the center.
