College: Cal State Northridge
Classification: Redshirt Senior
Birthdate: 11/7/1997

2020 Top 100 Prospect Rank: 68
Projected Draft Range: 2nd Round to Undrafted

Pros:

Decent scorer off the dribble
Decent low post scorer
Excels at scoring on the move
Decent playmaker
Good rebounder
Adequate defender that can get steals and blocks
Very good athlete

Cons:

Needs to improve his outside shot

Prone to hoisting up questionable shots

Limited experience against top competition

Summary:

Lamine Diane is an athletic, stat stuffing swingman that could be a sleeper for the 2020 NBA Draft.  He’s putting up gaudy numbers at a small D1 school at Cal State Northridge, which suggest he may potentially possess considerable upside as a prospect for the NBA draft, but the questions may be how well can he play against top competition, and how well he could fit into a supporting role in the association.  If he can keep playing well, Diane could end up a very solid find for an NBA team in this year’s draft.
