2017 NBA Manifesto

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.

Player Plan: Two minimum salary years remaining, the first of which is guaranteed. A project to keep and work on.
