Adan Diggs Scouting Report
Draftstack goes into the profile and NBA projection of top five 2028 prospect Adan Diggs.
You don’t see many 17-year-olds with such a complete package and profile that 6-foot-4 guard Adan Diggs has. He checks all the boxes from his positional length, two-way ability, fluidity, athleticism, and he possesses a complete offensive skillset. The term three-level-scorer is thrown around loosely but that’s exactly what Adan Diggs is. The guard from national powerhouse and No. 6 team in the nation Millennium High School of Arizona is proving himself to be a top 5 2028 prospect.
Let’s look into Diggs’ profile and his game.
Born: October 2, 2008, 17.4 years old
Hometown: Peoria, Arizona
An important thing to monitor is that Diggs is old for the 2028 class at 17.4 years old and could potentially reclassify up to the 2027 class; which he’s still undecided on.
Offers: Alabama, Kansas, Arizona, Arizona State, California, Maryland, Oregon, UMass, Washington, West Virginia, Creighton, LSU, Texas, Villanova, UNLV, USC, UCLA, Providence, BYU, Houston.
Diggs has said that he transferred to Millennium High School from Williams Field High School to play with friend Cameron Holmes (2026) who is signed with University of Arizona. Would Diggs lean towards staying in-state and playing with Holmes again at Arizona?

Scouting Report
Diggs has a ball-handling skillset that allows him to to get to wherever he has space, or he can create his own space with his handle, with a series of counter moves if need be. He also has a first step quick enough to where he can simply get by his defender with the ball on his hip and finish smoothly with both hands. Diggs moves with power, fluidity, and motion off the drive at the rim.
He sports a knockdown jumper from the mid-range and the three-point line. He can pull-up and rise into a picture-perfect jumpshot that has some fade to it. He also plays well above the rim to where he can catch lobs in transition and put it down easily. Such a fluid athlete in all senses of the description. Moves well in all directions and has explosive qualities to him.
His passing and decision-making as a passer shows his true basketball IQ. He’ll move the ball around the horn and he’ll make the easy and extra pass. He will direct teammates on where to go with the ball as well.
Defensively he’s solid as well. He plays so well off the ball and is an aware team defender. He almost leaves his man to a degree and acts as a defensive roamer. He can maneuver through screening action very well. Diggs is also a defensive playmaker as he’s getting deflections and steals and gets to running the court in transition.
NBA Projection
I think Adan Diggs will be a very good and winning NBA player, but will he be a go-to or high-usage guy? If you’re using a top 3 pick you’re looking to draft a player with superstar potential that can close out games for you. Half of me thinks he could be a legitimate perennial NBA All-Star and the other half of me has him as a valuable second on a team. He’s probably somewhere in between.
I’m unsure I see superstar potential but I think he’ll be of more value than what his scoring average will be. I see him being a 18-20 point scorer at his peak and not in the mid to high 20’s. He doesn’t have that alpha to where he wants to take over a game. But he also has a lot of talent around him at Millennium and he plays within the game quite well. So maybe his team environment will dictate how he plays. That will be something to watch with Vegas Elite in the 2026 offseason.
Bottom line, my prediction is that he’s worth a pick in the 5-8 range in the NBA Draft.
