Diego is the typical combo-guard (able to play both the PG and SG positions), he can attack the basket or create opportunities for his teammates. He has often played alongside American PGs and SGs, and thanks to his technical and physical features can either balance the pace and the tempo within a particularly offensive back court, or be an offensive threat (as happened in his last season in Chieti, and in particular when he scored 30 points in the most important game of the year, allowing the team to remain in the Italian second league) Velocity, ball handling and court vision are his most important weapons on the basketball court, which allow him to be very effective in transition creating for himself 3 points, long 2, and driving to the basket opportunities, but also creating opportunities for the team dishing out to the open teammates.
