Low-usage guard trying to earn a bigger New Orleans role
Damachoua’s current profile suggests a guard who can help with depth and defensive effort, but his production has been modest: in the 2025-26 season he is averaging 2.2 points, 0.9 rebounds, and 0.3 assists per game while shooting 34.4% from the field for New Orleans.[1] The biggest differentiator is not a flashy stat line but roster utility — a Paris-born guard with college experience who can fill minutes without forcing the offense, though the numbers do not yet show shot creation or playmaking impact.[1][3] If you need a developmental backcourt piece rather than an immediate scorer, he is a reasonable fit.[1]
