The one-and-done Kentucky player started three NCAA Tournament games after he and fellow current Thunder player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander helped the Wildcats earn a No. 5 seed in 2018.

Diallo had eight points, three rebounds and three blocks in the Round of 64 game against Davidson and then broke out with 22 points and eight rebounds in the next round, a win over Buffalo. Diallo only had two points and four rebounds in a Sweet Sixteen loss to Kansas State.

Diallo was drafted No. 45 overall. His draft rights were sent to the Thunder by the Charlotte Hornets, who had acquired the pick from the Brooklyn Nets in a trade involving Dwight Howard and Timofey Mozgov.
