Diallo set the bar high, no pun intended.  See how he performed under pressure: https://twitter.com/NBA/status/997196124728553473 Unfortunately, Diallo could not surpass his previous mark.  Even though he almost touched every single plastic marker, it was four inches shorter than last year's leap.  At 40.5," he's currently tied for fourth with Grayson Allen. Diallo's athleticism manifested in every other drill.  Players are still being tested, but he's currently in the top five of the shuttle run (4.44), three quarter sprint (3.1) and lane agility (10.53).  You'll find all of the combine numbers here.
