Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Diakite was born Jan. 21, 1997 in Conakry, Guinea. He's the son of Aboubacar Sidiki Diakite and Aminata Kaba. Diakite grew up playing soccer but later picked up basketball due to his height. He tried to draw attention from the United States through Facebook. It worked, and Diakite was contacted by Hassan Fofana, a Guinea native and former college basketball player. That led to Diakite joining a Blue Ridge School in 2014 - a boarding school in Saint George, Virginia. In addition to basketball, he participated in soccer and track and field. As a basketball player, he was a four-star recruit and Virginia's top prospect. He committed to play college ball at Virginia. He redshirted his first college basketball season, eventually debuting in 2016. He got his first start as a junior. That season, he started 22 of 38 games and averaged 7.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in 21.8 minutes, and Virginia won the National Championship. He returned as a senior to start all 30 appearances and averaged 13.7 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 32.8 minutes. As a senior, he was named to the ACC All-Second Team and ACC All-Defensive team.

Signs Exhibit 10 pact
FPhoenix Suns
September 13, 2024
The Suns signed Diakite to an Exhibit 10 contract Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
The Suns' G League affiliate, the Valley Suns, recently acquired the returning player rights to Diakite, and he will likely compete for a two-way spot with the Suns on a non-guaranteed training camp deal. The 27-year-old has spent four seasons bouncing around the league on two-way contracts, during which he has averaged 3.0 points and 2.3 rebounds across 9.2 minutes in 55 total regular-season appearances. Diakite will reunite with coach Mike Budenholzer, his coach while he was on the 2021 Bucks championship roster on a two-way deal.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Status uncertain for 2024-25
FMemphis Grizzlies
August 8, 2024
The Grizzlies are undecided about keeping Diakite on the roster for the upcoming 2024-25 season, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal speculates.
ANALYSIS
The Grizzlies need to make their final decisions from a roster perspective, and it's unclear whether they're willing to hang on to Diakite. Parting ways with Diakite would open a spot on the 15-man roster, but there's no urgency to make a decision right away. The big man was traded from the Nets to the Grizzlies in mid-July in the deal that sent Ziaire Williams, who's rehabbing from a back injury, to Brooklyn. Diakite made just six regular-season NBA appearances in 2023-24 for the Knicks and Spurs, averaging 2.0 points in 4.0 minutes.
