    I’m sure there will only be calm and reasonable responses to this plan

    We can chill out, he’s not playing because he showed out in Utah. This is quite normal for players not in their first year after a good SLC SL showing

    Seems like he proved to the org he’s done what they asked

    Great. Now I have to put my Oozeman Thang away too.

    You know, not living anywhere close to a US timezone I have to rely on the feedback of our lovely community for game updates on both player development and general performances.

    After poku, though where I still believe he can have an NBA future, I don’t know what to take as statiscal backed belief and what as hope.

    I’m still high on Ous, for multiple reasons but can those who watched regular blue games and his stints with the thunder tell me why we should move on from him? Aside from his lack of aggressiveness cause that will come by year 4 at most I believe.

  6. I’m a Dieng believer because I see the upside but I just have so many questions about his role on the court. I feel like he can do a bunch of things at a C/C+ level, but what does that mean in terms of his role on this roster? Right now I can imagine a 3&D, attack closeouts, and be a cutter role. But I continue to think he has looked his best as a PnR ball handler because his passing, especially to rolling bigs, has been his most consistent standout attribute. Regardless, I think he buys himself more time to figure it out if he becomes a 35-37% 3 point shooter next season.
