Original: Alpha Diallo arrives in Denver as 29-year-old NBA rookie fresh off being EuroLeague's top defender

Alpha Diallo has arrived in Denver to begin an NBA career at 29, an unusually late age for a rookie. He comes in after being recognised as the EuroLeague's top defender, and the Nuggets are betting his European experience and defensive reputation can translate to the NBA.
