Welcome Sidy Cissoko!

[Tetsujin]

Sure you’re a total afterthought in this deal and probably won’t amount to much given the odds but may you light many beams in your time with us and made the Spurs regret trading you in the same way the Clippers regret trading SGA

PS Noice standing reach.

Asked elsewhere but is he anything other than Bruno 2.0? Any shot for 2 years? I assume he was included for a reason.

Dude has been terrible from the perimeter but has point forward skills as a 6’7”-ish wing-forward. Physically, he’s what you’re looking for in a modern forward. Also pretty sure the Spurs drafted him just to give Wemby someone to speak French with.

Is it too much to ask Stockton to go pick up Sim Bhullar so we can have a Sim/Sidy lineup?

If he can't shoot but has other skills does that make him a poor man's Stephon Castle? lol

Now I am just going to root that he becomes a real player an Castle is a career .250 3pt shooter.

Personally, and honestly, I'd much rather he light many beans in his time with us...

with a number like that he could also play d-end for the Niners

Sidy has game like Artest. Maybe we have French Ron Ron on our hands. Just toned down a few notches.

Obviously everyone on our end was watching Carter, but Sidy put up a career game against us that same game.

 

[Sam0ah]

What if Monte considers Sidy the big wing he was looking for? If that is the case I hope we go get Jonas.

 

[jiimbob]

Just reading up on him. Except for his shot does sound like he’s got the tools to become a nice addition.
Good size, strong defender that grew up playing point. Appreciate those point forward types.
All the best Sidy, hope the Spurs highly undervalued you.

I like his mentality choosing a number like #91. Shows the kid has confidence and/or maybe he has a screw loose, which could be a very good thing for a defender, like Dennis Rodman and Ron Artest. I have hope he can turn into a stud defender in time.

This guy is 100% going to have some garbage time game where he does something good and be the next in the illustrious line of Troy Williams, DeQuan Jeffries, Louis King, and most recently Kessler Edwards.

or nice even…. ;-)
8’ 8” for those wondering.
6’ 9.75” wingspan

Problem is his lateral quickness is about equivalent to Jalen Slawson.

It's probably something stupid like the year France adopted their constitution after the French Revolution.

You know your absolutely right about the year.
Im also a big history buff.

[serbiangoat]

Could be what the Kings hoped Chema Moneke was going to be but with far bigger upside

I am not sure if there is a connection but... Abdoulaye Cissoko is a 25-year old defender on Memphis 901 FC who wears 91. I looked around a bit, and although I could find no direct connection, they are both Senegalese born in France. Cissoko (Cissokho) is a pretty common name, but it might be just to honor a countryman.

Bienvenue, Monsieur Cissoko!

(Pardon my French.)

Sidy has the most stereotypically French accent lol
