Cheick Diallo
PF, 6’9, 220lbs, 20 years old, 1 year of experience
For his age, Diallo looked pretty polished as a rookie, standing out as a rebounder and interior defender on assignment to multiple teams, and keeping the mistakes low, playing within his skill set. And while 199 minutes isn’t a great sample size of NBA minutes, they were nonetheless 199 good minutes. Diallo is confident, pretty skilled and highly projectable, and should begin next season in the rotation, with the aim of seeing how far he can go within it.
Player Plan: Two minimum salary years remaining, the first of which is guaranteed. A project to keep and work on.
