Player Breakdowns: Cheick Diallo, The Project

Related Topics: Cheick Diallo

Cheick Diallo presents one of many question marks for the New Orleans Pelicans this season. On a roster that doesn’t possess many intriguing, undeveloped, pieces Diallo is a bright spot.

Diallo, who has done most of his work in the G-League and the summer league is looking to add a homegrown staple that the Pels haven’t had since the predicted success of Anthony Davis.

It’s clear the Pelicans are loaded with big men. However, that doesn’t mean he isn’t important going forward.

Perception

If you look at Diallo (glass half empty perspective) you’ll see a young, shot forcing talent, that will make more mistakes than successful plays.
