TIER 6 · #137 OVERALLDepth piece — #45 among forwards

Moussa Diabate is ranked #45 among 149 eligible NBA forwards. He profiles as a bench or matchup-based option — draft late or stream when the schedule lines up. His final five games came in 2.4 points per game below his average. His minutes held steady (27.6/game vs 26.1 on the season), so the drop appears related to lower per-minute production rather than reduced playing time.

139.8ADP (ESPN drafts)

We rank him #147 versus an ADP of 139.8 — the market drafts him 142 spots later than we rank him. Strong value if he's still there. Projection drivers: growing workload (27.6 minutes/gm late vs 26.1 season), a late-season decline in per-minute production.
