Fellow Big Ten guard Zoom Diallo inserts name into the growing transfer portal

Zoom Diallo was a two-year contributor at Washington that now enters the transfer portal. He has been a key piece of a Huskies team that has been rebuilding its roster. Over 64 games in two seasons, Diallo has averaged 13.5 points per game on 48.2% shooting. As a sophomore this past season he averaged 15.7 points per game. While improving his 3-point shooting from 18.2% to 31.5%. Showing the growth in his game.

Diallo now enters the portal with two years of eligibility remaining for his new school. He is an above average passer that average is 4.5 assists per game and can play very well in a combo guard position. That could be something that interests the Bruins as they just recently brought back Trent Perry. Having another guard that can handle the ball helps alleviate some pressure on him.

Perry will get the majority of touches and be the main ball handler. But you can never have enough guys that can handle the ball as well as score. Diallo has shown his abilities to be able to score against high major schools. He had a really good game against UCLA earlier in the season with a 19-point effort. He also was able to drop 22 points against Ohio State.

Diallo scored in double digits in 28 of his 33 games that he played this season. That is consistency that UCLA is looking for on the offensive end. Diallo is able to put points on the board and has the ability to get you 20 on any given game. If the Bruins can improve their offense and get more athletic on defense, they can be a very good team. Diallo is a great step in that direction if UCLA has the resources to be able to go out and get him.
