Seliga’s Scouting Report - 2028 G Adan Diggs

Arizona has seen its share of elite prospects come through the state in recent years such as Koa Peat, Cody Williams, TyTy Washington, and plenty more.

However for how elite each of those prospects were, none had the chance to be the top ranked prospect in their class quite like Millennium guard Adan Diggs.

To say Adan Diggs is a special prospect would be underselling his talent. 

From the moment Diggs stepped foot at Williams Field last offseason, there was an immediate sense that he could be the most impactful athlete in the state. NBA star Chris Paul was enamored by his game as he watched Diggs battle his son at Section 7, cameras followed him from court to court competing, and college coaches were in awe.

That hype did not slow down once the regular season began either. 

Diggs helped lead Williams Field to its second most wins in a season and led the Black Hawks to its first multi-win postseason in 14 years.

The highlight of the season came in the first round of the Open Division where Diggs and company went on the road to defending champion Liberty and defeated the Lions 61-49 behind a 27 point explosion from Diggs.

Prior to the Summer, Diggs announced his transfer to West Valley power Millennium, his home school as he and seven players transferred out of Williams Field due to off the court incidents not involving Diggs or others.

Diggs made his debut for the Tigers at Section 7 and immediately turned heads such as UCLA head coach Mick Cronin as he had a 27 point, 7 assist game in the opener of the event.

Behind Diggs’ play alongside Cameron Holmes, Millennium rolled through their Section 7 bracket to a championship and the dynamic duo continued their success the following weekend going 3-1 at Cali Live to end the live period with a 7-1 record, the best by any team in Arizona.

Since arriving at Millennium at the beginning of June, Diggs has seen his recruitment take off to another level as he’s received eight offers in the month of June alone from powerhouses such as Arizona and Kansas.

Jacob Seliga’s Scouting Report

To say I’ve never seen a player as polished at such a young age as Diggs would be the ultimate understatement.

There’s a quiet confidence that he plays with that cannot be described, a Kobe-like mentality that’s rare for a player that is only entering his sophomore year of high school. He never smiles in the court and is continuously locked in to the pursuit of victory.

As a scorer, he is one of the best on the west coast as he uses the mid-range game to knockdown open jumpers as he creates space when he stops on a dime while driving and pulls up. From deep, his shot is just as smooth as he can bury it off of the dribble or in the catch and shoot game.

When it comes to finishing, his game has improved throughout the offseason as he can finish both in and through contract whether it’s a dunk over a defender or a layup off the glass.

But what could be his most valuable skill is his playmaking ability.

As a playmaker, Diggs sets the table for everyone in the lineup whether it’s driving and kicking to the open shooter, on the fast break throwing lobs, or in the half court running sets, he finds a way to get the ball to the open man by threading tight passing lanes or getting his teammates open with his passes.

Defensively, he’s a tenacious and physical defender with a longer wingspan that allows him to take away the opposing guard he’s matched up with. Diggs jumps into passing lanes, can get up and contest shots at the rim, and showcases a two-way ability that long term can translate to the next level and onward.

Ceiling – Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

Some might find it bold to compare a high school sophomore to an NBA MVP, but Diggs is a special talent that can live up to that billing. Both Gilegous-Alexander and Diggs are two-way guards that can play both on and off ball and can score in a variety of ways. Diggs’ body control as a slasher to the rim to score and draw contact is uncanny to Gilgeous-Alexander, and as a playmaker the way they create for their teammates is similar as well. 

As potentially the best player in the 2028 class and even the 2027 class should he choose to reclassify, Diggs living up to the ceiling of an MVP is not out of realm of possibility.

Floor – Dejounte Murray

Diggs is a special talent, and his game is quite similar to Murray’s as you sit down and watch it. 

As a defender, long term Diggs could craft out a role in college and in the NBA simply off being able to takeaway opposing players with his skill to guard both point guards and shooting guards with a skill similar to all-defensive team member Dejounte Murray. Offensively if he doesn’t fully hit his ceiling, he can still be a very effective scorer both on and off ball without the needing the ball to impact that end of the court. He can attack the rim or pull up from deep which would keep defenses honest in how to guard Diggs.
