Early life[edit]
Dadiet was born on 27 July 2005, and is of Ivorian descent.[1][2] As a youth, he joined the club Saint-Charles Charenton in 2011, where he remained through 2020 and was teammates with players including Tidjane Salaun.[3] He then spent time with the youth team of Centre Fédéral de Basket-ball before joining Paris Basketball.[4] He appeared in 22 games for the Paris Basketball U21 team in the 2021–22 season and had averages of 17.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.[5]
