With Aliou Dioum you immediately notice the defensive presence. He has very obvious natural instincts when it comes to protecting the rim and the paint. The motor is non stop, he has great length, and is a twitchy athlete. Huge defensive presence on the back end of the defense

Offensively, he has a bit of a ways to go when it comes to the feel. He has some tools when it comes to touch and hands, but things are most efficient for him at this point at the front of the rim and the dunker spots. He has legit size and is a quick leaper. A unique mover for a big man.
 
Dioum is a Rivals outlier, but his defensive presence is very real and one that will be interesting to watch continue developing over the next couple years.
