Looking at his stats, the 18-year-old doesn’t seem to have played an exciting final weekend at first glance. Nevertheless, Diawara’s name must be mentioned, because due to his physical assets, his uncompromising motor and high aggressiveness at both ends, he played a significant role in his team’s run. In transition actions, he was usually only stoppable with a foul and when that didn’t happen, he finished coast-to-coast run even single-handedly. In addition, he had good percentages from the distance, from which he hit 7 of 19 with partially deep shots.
In the past, there were hardly any approaches from the post, although he could be predestined there with his mass and long arms. Occasionally, he showed signs that he can be quite dangerous in this area. The next season is to be expected with suspense when he will possibly get more playing time in Paris at the highest European level.
