With no minutes available for developmental purposes with the New Orleans Pelicans, Cheick Diallo was assigned to the D-League ten days ago. It appears to have been a wise choice.
Through 4 games of the NBDL schedule, Cheick Diallo is averaging 15.3 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.3 blocks. Last night, he posted his highest scoring total to date by dropping 21 points in 33 minutes of action. Notice the touch exhibited around the rim area with either hand and usually in the form of a soft hook shot.
After fouling out in the opening game of the schedule, Diallo has shown no further issues with staying on the court.
