Cheick Diallo

It was a year of career bests for Diallo in New Orleans last season, which was particularly fortuitous in that was it was a contract year. The emerging big averaged 6.0 points and 5.2 rebounds across 14.0 minutes over 64 games while draining a career-best 62.0 percent of his shots. The versatile 22-year-old then went landed a two-year contract with the frontcourt-needy Suns, who also added Frank Kaminsky, Dario Saric and Aron Baynes during the offseason. Power forward had long been a position that Diallo's new team has failed to get right, and the team's offseason haul may well be overcompensation. However, a relatively productive scorer and rebounder on a per-minute basis like Diallo could certainly carve out a consistent role off the bench in his new digs, and he has the ability to produce when given extended minutes. Diallo did just that at times last season in New Orleans, churning out double-digit scoring efforts on 14 occasions in which he played at least 19 minutes. Diallo also pulled down double-digit rebounds in 13 contests and averaged an impressive 13.3 boards per 36 minutes. While his typical allotment of playing time remains to be seen, Diallo is certainly an option for those looking to round out their rosters with a player that offers some scoring and rebounding in deeper formats and that could well fly under the radar in many leagues.
