What is your take on Ousmane Dieng? Drop it below:
I think Smooth Ous straight up needs more time in the G league and with the Thunder, he doesn’t look comfortable out there to me. He’s miles better now than this time last year but he’s go a ways to go
The deadly lineup
Chet
Poku
Dieng
Giddy
Shai
Is a willlddd lineup.
You have multiple KD archetypes 🔥
Talking about playoffs switchable rooster , Towns , Gobert and Timberwolwes bigs were able to strugle Thunder ofense on that single game.
If Dort and Mann can shoot like that, they can bring ball movement to half court, then find better moment to inrupt inside out, pnr, our Centers and PF can do some ball handling, must search more assists around then.
Never been happier to see 9 turnovers in my life! For Ous mistakes are the very thing that will help him to continue to develop and that development starts from the willingness to make mistakes from being aggressive. Totally agree that he's on schedule, he'll play some g-league this year and be able to further improve his feel for the NBA game with some minutes off the bench and I think in his third season we'll probably start seeing a more meaningful role for him but still most likely coming off the bench with some more consistent minutes.
Anybody notice how j will j dub and keyontae were all there sitting together and then Chet was sitting alone the whole game, wonder why, Lowkey sad
Dieng my favorite thunder player and i got high hopes for him 🙏
Ousmane is not that guy
