You haven't seen anybody jump like this.
Diakité has the kind of elevation that makes veteran
professionals stand and stare like school kids seeing someone
dunk for the very first time. Diakité attacks the
ring fearlessly and any defenders foolish enough to get in his
way usually get carried along for the ride.
Diakité applies his inhuman vertical leap not
only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive where he
takes great pleasure in swatting away the shot attempts of
anyone crazy enough to attempt a lay-up in his proximity.
More than just a leaper, Diakité also brings a
mean mid-range jump shot, and a very quick first step. He
plays every game with intensity and always competes until the
last second. Able to defend inside and on the wing,
capable of driving around bigger defenders, and jumping over
smaller ones: Diakité is a force to be reckoned with.
