Diallo's ball pressure defense stood out and his effort was great.
“his gift of picking up the ball and defending is obvious. So really proud of him. His effort was great.”

Diallo and Spencer Jones have the defensive mentality that much of the Nuggets roster lacks.
“The Nuggets need more guys in their rotation who like to defend. A lot of this team hates playing defense. It's a mentality. Diallo has it. Spencer Jones has it.”

Diallo was awesome in his coach's eyes.
“Alpha Diallo was awesome.”
Diallo is a menace on defense and can knock down shots on offense.
“He's a menace on defense, like an absolute menace on defense. Very much like accountable in the right space on offense can knock down shots.”
