African League DPOY will join the Mavericks. Will he become a strong contender for two-way contracts?

According to African basketball media X BALL AFRICA, inside player Aliou Diarra from Mali will represent the Dallas Mavericks in the next NBA summer league games.

Diara was born in December 2001 and is 23 years old, 206cm tall and weighs 87kg. She is the undraft in the 2023 NBA Draft. Diyala has played for the African Basketball League team over the past few seasons, and this season he plays for Rwanda team APR Kigali. In the African Basketball League this season, Diyala made a total of 8 appearances, averaging 29.7 minutes, averaging 17.4 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.4 steals and 3.2 blocks, including 3.4 frontcourt rebounds, 2 turnovers and 2.4 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 55.7%, a three-point shooting percentage of 11.1%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 55.8%.

Diala is the best defensive player and blocking player in the African Basketball League this season, and he is also shortlisted for the best defensive team in the African Basketball League. Diyala also won the Best Defensive Player in the African Basketball League in 2023. He has been shortlisted for the Best Defensive Team in the African Basketball League for three consecutive years and was shortlisted for the Best Defensive Team in the African Basketball League for two consecutive years. He has helped the team win the Rwanda League, Rwanda Cup and Rwanda Super Cup, and his dominance in the African arena is also quite amazing.

Diala's performance in the African arena is impressive. He has also made great progress this season and can exert his value on both offense and defense. Diyala has a very good scoring ability at the basket. He has outstanding ability to compete for rebounds in the frontcourt, and his performance in passing and supporting are also quite outstanding. The most important thing is that his ability to protect and protect the backcourt rebounds on the defensive end is quite amazing, and he is an indispensable inside gate for the team. However, the level of the African Basketball League is not too high after all. Although Diallo has good physical talent and athletic ability, he is still a little shorter in terms of figure, and his skills are not so skillful. Everyone will worry that he may encounter some trouble in higher-level competitions.

Of course, from the Mavericks' perspective, using a summer league contract to examine Diyala's personal abilities is also a good choice. If Diyala intends to go to the NBA to develop, then this summer league is also an excellent opportunity for him to prove his strength. If Diyala can prove that he has the ability to perform both offense and defense and can play his value on both offense and defense, then maybe there will be a team that will provide him with a two-way contract, or at least he will have the opportunity to appear in the NBA Development League next season?
