Teen big man Chieck Diallo was taken No. 33 overall in last month's NBA Draft and lands a three-year deal in New Orleans, league sources say

I really believe if he can put on 20 solid pounds of muscle he can be a mix of Biyombo and Ibaka. Good enough rebounder/shot blocker and can knock down mid range. Very impressed with his summer league performance.

IIRC, Jordan Mickey went No. 33 last year and got a record deal for second rounders, something like 4 years, $5 million (only two were guaranteed, or something)

I'd guess Diallo will be much cheaper.

I doubt it unless they are team options. The entire reason to give him a 3 year deal is to have full Bird Rights when the deal ends so you don't need cap space to keep him if he blows up.
