sidy cant even dominate the summer league.Even wesley i believe averaged 17 points in his summer league in like 5 games.
Seems like a good dude,But he needs to be cut.Waste of a roster spot.Rather have david duke on the roster over this dude.

Dominating SL is a bit much to ask from Sidy, but he should be able to score at least a few times :downspin:

Never liked the Cissoko pick at the time of the draft or since.

That said, after watching him three games in Vegas, I like him more now than ever.

Not as a basketball player but as a guy, as a competitor.

He works so hard, tries so hard.

He reminds me of Jeff Ayers -- he desperately wanted to succeed but, in the end, just couldn't.

After one game, Ayers literally cried because he knew he had given his best and he knew it just wasn't close to good enough. That's tragedy, not failure but the awareness of failure.

I don't think Cissoko likely has a future in the NBA, never for a moment did, but I've come to kind of like or admire him.

Where is the Cissoko thread?

So many were high on him.

I agree kind of liked him but I always like the underdog it just looks like it is not going to happen. I will say Siddy is very smart, great work ethic, and the kid can speak several languages. So I wonder if basketball doesn’t work out maybe he could get on with corporate, foreign scouting department?

[Mr. Body]

I'm not gonna shit my pants about Cidy. He's deep on the bench and will get more time. Pop ain't wrong: this is the player you want, his physical attributes are superb and he has some great passing skills. He's not putting it together and frankly it's not looking great considering he's been a pro for a while. But that's not a bad swing to take.

[Uriel]

How's Ryan Rupert doing these days? Wasn't he always the counterfactual to Sidy (in the same way that Sengun was to Primo)?

[Dex]

fools. All of them.

I've never seen it. People talk about his athleticism and potential...that doesn't do any good if you can't shoot and have the basketball IQ of a rock.

It's like a tragic epic of someones life where they give it their all and yet still fail. Honorable but unsuccessful.
