AS Monaco have reached another summer market victory. Per BasketNews sources, Monaco agreed to a contract extension with one of the core players Alpha Diallo.
According to BasketNews sources, a 25-year-old forward finalized a three-year deal with an NBA exit clause included every summer from 2023.
2.01 m American player was one of the best EuroLeague rookies last season.
Diallo averaged 9.6 points (2FG: 53.7%; 3FG: 38.2%), 4.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.4 steals in 25 minutes.
When coach Sasa Obradovic took over the team, Diallo increased his numbers from 7.7 points (3FG: 27.8%), four rebounds, 0.8 assists, and one steal to 10.3 points (3FG: 40.8%), 5.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.6 steals per game.
Versatile forward was a vital piece behind the sensational Monaco playoff run, where the newcomers pushed 2nd seeded Olympiacos Piraeus to a decisive Game 5.
He poured in EuroLeague career-high 24 points in a win over Fenerbahce Istanbul (92-78).
Diallo has reached his career-high in efficiency, boosting Monaco to a victory over the back-to-back EuroLeague champions Anadolu Efes Istanbul with a 19-point and 31-PIR performance.
The forward had a solid stat sheet against ASVEL Villeurbanne, posting 17 points, ten rebounds, six assists, two steals, and 29 PIR.
Offensively, Diallo made the highest positive impact in Monaco. Monaco‘s offense improved by 6.3 points per 100 possessions with him on the court.
AS Monaco are preparing a ton of announcements.
La Roca team also extended Donta Hall and signed Elie Okobo, Jordan Loyd, John Brown III, and Jaron Blossomgame.
