The Phoenix Suns officially added to their depth on Tuesday with the signing forward Cheick Diallo.

The 22-year-old averaged six points and 5.2 rebounds — both career highs — last season for the New Orleans Pelicans.

At 6-foot-9 with a 7-foot-5 wingspan, Diallo shot 62% from the field while averaging 14 minutes per game.

The Suns now have 15 players on their roster with the official addition of Diallo, a second-round pick in the 2016 NBA draft after a one-and-done season at Kansas.

Diallo will wear No.
