With several key Detroit Pistons players missing time over the last week or so, Hamidou Diallo was tasked with picking up the slack as one of the only healthy rotation players available. And he blew away any reasonable expectations with his play in lieu of the regular starters. With a safety mask on too!
Diallo had perhaps the best three performances of his career all in a row last week. His first big stats game came in a huge loss to the San Antonio Spurs. Detroit lost by 35 as Keldon Johnson led all Spurs starters with just 27 minutes of play in a curb-stomping of the East’s last-place team.
