Summary
The Nuggets quietly upgraded their defense by signing Alpha Diallo, a steal-worthy EuroLeague defender who led his league in steals and earned best defender honors. For less than $2 million, he brings exactly what Denver needs: elite wing defense, versatility, and depth — especially for the second unit. With their defense ranking near the bottom for two years, Diallo’s size, length, and hustle could be the missing piece, helping fill the void left by departed players like Hardaway Jr. and Valanciunas. Not flashy, but undeniably impactful — and a steal at just $1.3 million. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
