## Resource

From Clippers bench to Hornets starter, Moussa Diabate’s rise is a story of relentless hustle. Once a second-round pick barely cracking the rotation, he now averages nearly nine rebounds and eight points in 26 minutes—thanks to smart play, clutch shooting, and LaMelo Ball’s dimes. Early mentorship from Taj Gibson fueled his grind, turning early struggles into steady growth. At just 24, Diabate’s defense and rebounding anchor Charlotte, with room to explode offensively—and maybe even become a cornerstone.
