Can Cook and Diallo be the real deal for the bench?

Granted, 4 summer league games:
Cook is averaging about 22 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists
Diallo is averaging about 20 points, 9 rebounds
Both shooting >50%

Diallo has to learn not to foul out by halftime.

I've been excited about Diallo since we drafted him but he's still pretty raw. I think he's a 15 MPG player every other game. No way he gets on the court ahead of Cunningham who I see as our 3rd big right now.
As for Cook, I don't see any reason to think he can't step in and play impactful minutes right away just like Ish and Frazier before him.

As of now Cook is our backup point guard- so yeah don't we have to be optimistic?

I have higher hopes for Cook than Tim Frazier thats for sure.

They look like rotation guys to me. Diallo isn't quite a third big yet, but he's getting there. There will be rough spots as he develops against NBA bigs, but playing with Boogie and AD will help his learning curve.
Cook will be a perfectly serviceable backup PG. No more, no less. Which is nice. There's a lot of value in that.

I honestly think so, especially Diallo. His ceiling is till very high both on offense and defense and gives us great depth behind Davis and Cousins. Every time I've seen Cook play, he has impressed me too, and since we need a PG, we could definitely use him.

Diallo has promise but he is getting by on sheer size and athleticism in SL on the majority of his buckets. I'm talking some ugly, unconventional offensive moves that are resulting in buckets But you can tell it's good for his confidence. Rebounding, hustle, shot blocking are all on track to translate into the league
I still contend QC may be our best spot up 3P shooter. He has a lot of flaws, though. But if Frazier can give you serviceable minutes so can he
