When the Detroit Pistons traded for Hamidou Diallo, Troy Weaver was already well aware of his potential, as he was part of the team that originally drafted him in OKC.
Weaver traded Svi Mykhailiuk for restricted free agent Diallo and his season was up and down for Detroit.
He was battling nagging injuries, so while he did flash some huge potential, he wasn’t able to do it consistently in his short time with the Pistons.
But that didn’t stop Troy Weaver from giving him a vote of confidence by not only talking about him as part of the future, but saying that he thinks Diallo is going to be a special player.
