2. Work on being a spot-up shooter
Diallo will have to try and find his way on the team and gain valuable minutes. One way he can do that is by becoming a reliable spot-up shooter.
In NBA Summer League, he was able to shoot well when given the chance. He did not attempt many 3s but he was able to hit them and shot 20-for-41 from the field overall (48.8 percent).
In the game against the Charlotte Hornets, Diallo took only one 3 and did not make it. Against the Brooklyn Nets, which was a blowout win, Diallo shot two 3s and hit both of them. He did not take any against the Toronto Raptors, and went 1-for-2 from deep against the Memphis Grizzlies.
In college, Diallo shot 33.8 percent from 3-point range. He can make 3s but is not what you would call elite or consistent just yet.
If he is able to work on that and show the ability to make that shot at the NBA level, like he was able to display in Summer League, that will go a long way toward earning him extra minutes.
