If they even noticed at the time we signed him, they probably have forgotten by now. Surprise! Gorgui Dieng is a Hawk! He's signed for the entire season! While 0017 is out, recovering from surgery until the 1st of the year, Hawks really needed someone to fill in. This is he. Now, when Capela needs a rest or, heaven forbid, he must miss time with an injury or sickness, we have a very good replacement ready to play. I think he will fill a very important reserve role for this team and will remain a big value add even after OO17 is back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators macdaddy Posted September 9, 2021 Moderators Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 So many teams focus on 'how are we going to get by X team in the playoffs' but you have to get there and get a good seeding. You need the right 6-8 players for the playoffs but you need 10-12 to get through the season. Last year without guys like Snell, Lou, Solo helping win games we easily could have dropped into the play in. Dieng is much needed to backup CC. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t assume that. I’m just not a fan of that type of hit. Would rather he crush the guy on a screen, etc. than hit him from behind on a non-basketball move. Hitting a guy when his back is turned just doesn’t sit well with me even if the other guy took cheap shots leading up to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a little surprised to see that he play's better D than I originally thought. I knew he could shoot and pass, but his defense (active hands + shot blocking) makes this signing a steal. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We DEEEEP TBF if he plays like this every day he's definitely not giving up the 2nd string to Okonguw. He was fantastic. Elite defense with the ability to stretch the floor, perfect fit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dieng is one of the most underrated defenders in the entire NBA. Problem has been he always gets hurt. Last season he didn't qualify but look where he ranked in 2019 in Defensive Raptor: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
