Cissoko, from France, just turned 19 years old. He has big hands and a 6'10" wingspan. He is a right-handed guard/forward player that shows advanced vision for his age. We see him more as a two or three in the NBA, although some believe he can play the point. Cissoko only hit 31.4% of his three-point attempts in 2022-23. Likewise, he was poor at the free throw line (64.3% FT). He has a nice feel for the game, posting a 1.64-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio.  Defensively, he is willing to take a charge but the Ignite team was 1.3 points per 100 possessions better on defense with Cissoko out of the game. He was measured with a 35.5" max. vert. Cissoko only attempted 98 free throws in over 1200 minutes of playing time. He needs to correct that. ...Cissoko played for the World Select Team at the 2022 Hoop Summit. Cissoko is said to be a favorite of his teammates. We believe he will be taken late round one to early round two. We enjoyed watching Cissoko but we think he could be in better shape, and he needs to go to the basket way more often. He will need to assert himself much more offensively to reach his potential. 

 

Our best advice: in 2012, the 29th pick was Marquis Teague, we advised, "Draft Draymond Green."
