Cheikh Moussa Diagné Ly (born March 6, 1994) is a Senegalese professional basketball player for Iberostar Tenerife of the Liga ACB. He is a center, but he can also play as a power forward. He was listed as one of the top international prospects for the 2015 NBA draft,[1][2] but went undrafted.
Diagne was born on March 6, 1994, and was brought up in Guédiawaye, Senegal. He was discovered at a basketball camp in Rufisque by head coach David Sanz of the Spanish amateur basketball powerhouse, Baloncesto Torrejón. In the spring of 2011, at age 17, Diagne moved to Madrid, Spain in an attempt to compete with Torrejón. He only had little experience playing the game prior to arriving in Europe, however. Diagne played in local tournaments and the Spanish fourth division.[2][3]
