Can t beat the Warriors bench! The Thunder lottery pick looks really hopeless?

In the previous NBA regular season, the Oklahoma City Thunder at home defeated the Golden State Warriors 126-102. After this game, the Thunder, which has won three consecutive games, has improved its record to 11 wins and 1 loss, continuing to hold the top spot in the Western Conference. The Warriors, who have lost three of the last four games, have dropped to 6 wins and 6 losses, and their ranking has also dropped to 9th in the Western Conference.

In this game, although the Thunder won a big victory, the performance of the team's substitute striker Ousmane Dieng was still very unsatisfactory. Giang played 20 minutes and 14 seconds, shooting 1 of 5, 1 of 3 from beyond the three-point line, and 2 of 2 free throws. He only scored 5 points and 1 rebound, and made 2 turnovers, with a plus-minus of -4. Dieng also got a lot of playing time and performance opportunities in this game, but his performance on the court really didn't have any highlights. Dieng has poor touch on the offensive end, his scoring ability and shooting ability have not been fully utilized, and he has not shown any other characteristics. Although Giang seems to have quite good physical talent, he cannot play a greater role on the defensive end. Facing the Warriors' bench lineup, Dieng failed to achieve his own effect. This performance really makes people feel a little speechless.

In the NBA regular season last season, Giang played a total of 37 times, averaging 10.9 minutes per game. He averaged 3.8 points, 2.2 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.2 blocks per game. He also had 0.5 turnovers and 0.9 fouls. He shot 43.2% from the field, 32.4% from the three-point range, and 68.8% from the free throw line. In the playoffs, Dieng played a total of 9 times, averaging 3.6 minutes per game, averaging 1.6 points, 0.4 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.3 steals, and 0.1 blocks per game. He shot 40% from the field, 57.1% from the three-point range, and 100% from the free throw line. Since the start of this season, Dieng has played a total of 9 times in the first 12 games, averaging 11.2 minutes per game, averaging 1.9 points, 1.9 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.1 steals, and 0.6 blocks per game. He also has 0.4 turnovers and 1 foul. His shooting percentage is 20.8%, three-point shooting percentage is 21.4%, and free throw percentage is 100%.

Although Giang is a high lottery pick, his progress over the past few seasons is really not ideal. Giang is considered a young player that the Thunder has high hopes for, otherwise they would not have selected him with such a high pick. However, a few seasons have passed, and Dieng is still just a potential player. Even in garbage time, he is still somewhat unclear. So far this season, his performance has been appalling. With Giang's performance, we are also very worried about his prospects in the Thunder and even in the NBA. If this trend continues, he may really have to leave the NBA game soon.
