Spurs rookie Sidy Cissoko showed immense talent and potential over his first year in the NBA.
Young players often take time to develop before putting in major contributions on NBA rosters in meaningful games. There are obvious exceptions to this rule, but the development of young players is crucial to the future of any NBA franchise and the players themselves. It becomes a whole lot easier when young players come in with ample talent and a willingness to learn and perfect their craft.
"I’d like to get him even more minutes," Coach Gregg Popovich bragged about Cissoko in December."I think he’s got a lot of potential." Cissoko shot 4.4 3-point shots per game in Austin over his stint in the G League, only connecting with a mere 24.5 percent from long range. Though on a small sample size of just 12 total attempts, his NBA percentage was even worse, making just one 3-pointer to put him at 8.3 percent to finish the season. He also faced struggles at the free-throw line, making just 63.6 percent of his shots from the stripe in the G League.
His shooting struggles will be an area of improvement for the young guard, but with the talent and experience he has been given, Cissoko has shown flashes of why he can be a great player for the Spurs.
