Cissoko posted 11.6 points on 43.6 percent shooting, 3.1 assists and 2.8 rebounds per game while averaging 29.0 minutes.

He's shown more than enough potential in a brief G League tenure to be strongly considered for the NBA draft. The NBA Mock Draft database has him ranked No. 38 overall on the consensus big board.

Cissoko clearly improved as the year went on, notably averaging 22.2 points and 4.6 assists per game over a five-matchup stretch from Feb. 23 to March 3.

He needs more time to develop and grow as he starts his professional career, but Cissoko's late-season success provides hope that he'll be a mainstay in NBA rotations for years to come.
