Why are you so salty with Cheick Diallo? That is so weird and random.

I'm not salty. Just looking beyond scoring numbers. Had hoped he'd be more of a force on D by now. Has all the tools and talent, but can't seem to put it the focus in that end. Misses the smarts to make a diferencce there (up til now).


You mean by his second summer league game? Lol. He's a guy that had a late start to basketball, didn't play much at Kansas due to eligibility issues at the start and completely redshirted last season. He had 23 points, 10 boards, 3 blocks and 2 steals. This coming off a 27 and 10 line in game one against Toronto's big front line.

He and Collins did not match up all game. AD was horrible on defense when he started. In fact, last year was probably by far AD's best defensive year.

Anyway, Diallo has been great. All we are hoping for is 10-15 minutes off the bench at some point.

He's be playing in the D-League all year and had practices against Boogie and AD. You're supposed to pick up something.

Again, he's got a ll the talent. The fact that I'm disspointed in his progress should be seen as a positive view on his upside mate.

Man the Suns are awful at drafting. Bender and Chriss are garbage and Jackson doesn't look much better.

Chriss shows so many flashes, can do so much, but yet understand so little of what he does. Steep learningcurve ahead, but could be a high reward.

Not impressed with Suns talent at all. They have Booker and then bunch of meh. Jackson is still very raw just like Jaylen Brown so i will not judge him yet.

I think you can say that Josh Jackson has looked the worst of any of the players picked in the top 15 so far. Maybe even top 20.

So much hyperbole in this statement it isn't even funny. He's shooting badly. He's still averaging 16.5/8.5 in SL.

DSJ looks rather better than I expected, I did think his summer league performance would be bad because his attitude sucks sometimes, but seems he is trying to compete.

Celtic fans have so much hate for Josh Jackson, it's unreal. Dude can't shoot after two SL games but is still filling the stat sheet. We will see what Tatum does when he has to defer to IT when the real season starts......

SL is for ball dominat scorers......duh!

I've been a fan of Diallo for a long time. He could be really good. Don't know why anyone is salty.
