In the victory against the Bucks, a Frenchman stood out a lot on the Charlotte side, and his name might well surprise you.
Reading this passage, you might think that Tidjane Salaün finally had more playing time and put it to good use, but the former Choletais has not yet managed to weigh heavily in Charles Lee’s roster. With 3 points on 1/4 shots including 1/3 from distance, 1 rebound and 2 assists in 9 minuteshe does what he can but unfortunately, not enough for an article to be dedicated to him on TrashTalk this evening.
No, this French interior we’re talking about today is Moussa Diabaté, the former University of Michigan player did some dirty in the racket and had his best game of the season against Giannis’ Bucks. 12 points on 6/7 shooting, 14 rebounds including 10 offensive, 2 assists and 3 blocks are to the credit of the replacement center of the Frelons.
Moussa Diabate’s last 4 matches:
0 points – 15 rebounds – 3 blocks
4 points – 11 rebounds – 0 blocks
12 points – 15 rebounds – 3 blocks
12 points – 14 rebounds – 3 blocks
A wonderful start to the season in Charlotte for the Paris native.

But more than just well-stocked statistics, it is above all in the impact that we must salute the performance of Moussa Diabaté. The interior weighed on both sides of the floor to help his team win at the Spectrum Center. In attack, he allows his guys to have a lot of spare ammunition, and the Hornets took advantage of this to score 13 points on a second chance. And in defense, he took out the barbed wire to dissuade anyone from venturing into “his” racket.
Not always flamboyant in the game with his “old-fashioned” style, he was very valuable for Charles Lee and his teammates. His start to the season in North Carolina is crowned with success, individually, where he finds his place in the rotation, and collectively, where the Frelons certainly have a negative record of 5 wins for 7 losses, but which allows them to moment to access the Play-in Tournament.
Obviously, after 12 matches, this is a very hasty conclusion, but it is clear that Moussa Diabaté’s contribution to Charlotte is undeniable.
