Diamant Blazi

Blazi began playing basketball at age 11 in France and was considered a late bloomer in the sport. He developed through France's youth basketball system, where training emphasized tactical understanding, individual skills, and structured team play.

He played for Chorale Roanne's U21 team in the France U21 Elite league. His first recorded club appearance came in December 2021, and he played 20 games across the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons. His highest-scoring performance for Roanne came against Monaco U21, when he recorded 6 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 blocks.

In May 2023, Blazi moved from France to the United States and enrolled as a senior at Jordan Christian Prep in Auburndale, Florida. During the 2023-24 season, he played as a versatile forward, contributing through driving, rebounding, shot-blocking, transition play, and an improving outside shot.

Blazi averaged about 10 points per game and earned first-team all-state honors from the Sunshine Independent Athletic Association. His performance drew interest from NCAA Division I programs, including Monmouth University and Indiana. He received an offer from Monmouth and made an official visit to Indiana in March 2024.

Blazi continued his development in Overtime Elite as a swingman and forward. He joined the City Reapers after being traded from the Cold Hearts in a deal announced in October 2025. The City Reapers valued his defensive intensity, energy, and versatility.

During the 2025-26 OTE season, Blazi averaged 5.5 points and 5.5 rebounds over 13 appearances, while playing 18.5 minutes per game. He also received a Tennessee State offer in September 2025 and made an official visit to the university in December 2025. Other Division I programs showing interest included Western Kentucky, Notre Dame, San Diego, UNC Greensboro, Stetson, and the University of North Florida.

Blazi created his TikTok account in January 2021. His first video featured a lip-sync to Dadju's song "Reine," and his early posts combined dance content with basketball-related material.

His videos include basketball highlights and tricks, dance trends, lifestyle posts, and behind-the-scenes content. His account, @diamantblazi, has attracted millions of followers, while his Instagram presence has also grown to more than 2 million followers. His representation by Sero Sports Partners supports his branding and athletic opportunities.

Blazi plays as a swingman or forward and is known for combining size, length, and explosiveness. His 7-foot-2 wingspan supports his rebounding, perimeter defense, shot-blocking, and ability to guard multiple positions.

His offensive game centers on rim-running, powerful finishes, and transition play, while he has continued developing his outside jumper. Defensively, his athleticism allows him to protect the rim and disrupt opponents both near the basket and on the perimeter. LeBron James was one of his favorite players and basketball influences while he was growing up.
