Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Sidy Cissoko spent the 2022-23 season with the G League Ignite. He averaged 12.8 points, 3.5 assists, 2.8 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks across 29.3 minutes per game while starting in his 28 appearances. The Frenchman also featured in the G League All-Star Game, scoring six points while adding two rebounds and two assists across 17 minutes. Cissoko also averaged 9.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game across 15 games (10 starts) in the Showcase Cup. His best game occurred against the Memphis Hustle on Feb. 24, where he finished with 24 points, six rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block across 30 minutes. Cissoko scored at least 20 points eight times, with six of those games coming since the beginning of February. Cissoko is a player who thrives on his instincts and elite athleticism to make plays, particularly on the defensive end. He's a 6-foot-7 wing who can defend multiple positions. Cissoko can handle both guards and forward with equal success, and he is big enough even to guard power forwards on small-ball lineups. Cissoko is not just a defender, though. His great measurables allow him to attack the rim easily, and while he isn't blinding quick, he's still a menace in transition. Cissoko is not a score-first player, but he can still make an impact on offense due to his excellent vision. Cissoko has the potential to be a first-round pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, but that doesn't mean he will carve a role right away. His Summer League showing could be pivotal to determining just how NBA-ready he is. Spending time in the G League suggests he's already tested at that level, but it wouldn't be shocking if he starts his NBA career playing in the G League once again. He figures to end up as a bench player in his first year in The Association, with the best-case scenario being a key reserve or impactful role player down the road.

Inks three-year deal with San Antonio
FSan Antonio Spurs
July 28, 2023
Cissoko signed a three-year, $5.23 million contract with the Spurs on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Though the Spurs have an open two-way spot available with rookie wing Sir'Jabari Rice and big man Dominick Barlow occupying two of the three slots, Cissoko, a rookie second-round pick, will be part of the 15-man roster on a standard NBA contract. The 6-foot-7, 225-pound wing spent the 2022-23 season with the NBA G League Ignite, appearing in 28 regular-season contests and averaging 12.8 points, 3.5 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 29.3 minutes per game. Since he's not a lock to be included in San Antonio's regular rotation, Cissoko could end up spending significant time with the G League's Austin Spurs during his first NBA campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Mutually beneficial location?
FSan Antonio Spurs
June 29, 2023
Cissoko was "a good flier for where [San Antonio] selected him," writes Sam Vecenie of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Cissoko averaged 12.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 29.3 minutes per game for the G League Ignite last season. The 19-year-old is a burly guard-wing hybrid with raw shooting but solid playmaking and physical upside on both ends of the court. Critically, Vecenie notes that "the Spurs have worked magic with jumpers before, and Cissoko's inconsistent mechanics need it."
