If you’re a fan of the New Orleans Pelicans, there’s a solid chance you spent time trying to convince someone Cheick Diallo has star potential. He’s still extremely raw, but the tools are there for something special.
Due to that raw talent, and superstars Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins taking most of the big man minutes, Diallo’s playing time is sparse. No one’s complaining about those two taking the majority of the minutes, however.
While those minutes were limited and scattered, at least Diallo was checking into games at the beginning of the season. In recent games though, not only have those minutes gone down, they’ve completely disappeared.
