The team's other rookie from France can defend multiple positions and play either forward or guard.
Sidy Cissoko, the Spurs' 44th overall draft pick, is greeted by fans as he is introduced during the Meet the Rookies event at the Arneson River Theater on Saturday. The 19-year-old Frenchman previously played for the NBA G League Ignite.
"I can do kind of everything on the court and be as versatile as I can to help the team win," Cissoko said."If they want me to play the four, I can play the four. If they want me to play the one, I can play the one. Each position comes to me. Just anything to help us win in the end."Wright said the Spurs were"ecstatic" Cissoko was still on the board when they were on the clock to make their second pick in the second round, No. 44 overall.
Suffice it to say, he's a great fit for a team that has placed a premium on finding multi-positional players. San Antonio Spurs second round pick Sidy Cissoko greets fans before being introduced at a Spurs press conference at the AT&T Center on Saturday, June 24, 2023.In that sense, the 6-foot-7, 230-pound Cissoko, who just turned 19 in April, should fit in well after playing professionally in Spain before spending last season as the first European-born prospect to suit up for G League Ignite.
