2023 Fantasy Outlook
Dieng failed to reach any great heights during his rookie season, logging 14.6 minutes per night across 39 games played. He barely finished inside the top 400 in nine-category leagues, averaging 4.9 points and 2.7 rebounds. Despite limited opportunities, Dieng did flash a small amount of upside, enough to at least keep managers interested heading into his sophomore campaign. The Thunder have built a tremendous young roster and are likely to push for the playoffs this season. Where Dieng fits in their short-term plans remains to be seen. He is only 20 years of age, meaning he certainly matches up with their timeline. He should see a larger role than last year, although he is unlikely to see enough court time to warrant attention outside of deeper formats. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Dieng was born May 21, 2003 in Villeneuve-sur-Lot, France and grew up in Lot-et-Garonne, where his father, Ababacar, played basketball. At the youth level, Dieng played for Villeneuve Basket Club and JSA Bordeaux, and he attended INSEP in Paris, where he competed for its U18 team at the Next Generation Tournament. He represented France at the 2019 FIBA U16 European Championship in Italy, where he averaged 8.9 points, 3.6 assists and 2.7 rebounds as the team took home the silver medal. As a pro, Dieng began his career in 2018-19 with Centre Federal Du Basket-ball in the French NM1 league. The big man started his first games in 2019-20, when he averaged 10.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.5 steals in 25.4 minutes. In 2020-21, he averaged 12.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.4 steals in 29.3 minutes. For the 2021-22 season, he signed with the New Zealand Breakers of the Australian NBL. There, Dieng averaged 8.9 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 20.8 minutes. To prepare for the 2022 NBA Draft, he left the Breakers in April of 2022. He was selected with the 11th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft by the New York Knicks but was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Dazzles Wednesday
FOklahoma City Thunder
July 12, 2023
Dieng posted 22 points (9-11 FG, 3-4 3PT, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and a steal in 33 minutes of Wednesday's 98-87 win over Indiana during Summer League.
ANALYSIS
After sitting out Tuesday's contest, Dieng turned in a stellar performance Wednesday, showcasing the ability to score off the dribble and as a spot-up shooter. He also took on a facilitating role, dishing out six assists while only turning the ball over once. Considering Dieng has shown signs of significant improvement and figures to be competing for a rotation spot, he could be a shut-down candidate.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for Summer League action
FOklahoma City Thunder
June 20, 2023
Dieng will play for the Thunder during the Salt Lake City Summer League, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder are likely to field a strong team during Summer League, as Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren are also slated to participate in some capacity. Dieng logged 39 appearances with the Thunder during his rookie season last year, averaging 4.9 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 14.6 minutes per game.
See All NBA Rumors
2022 Fantasy Outlook
Dieng spent last season with the New Zealand Breakers of the NBL Australia, where he posted 8.9 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.9 combined steals/blocks in 20.3 minutes per game. He'll join a developing Thunder roster that continues to stockpile young talent. At some point, the Thunder will shift toward attempting to contend, but given the age of its core, OKC will likely be headed for another rebuilding season in 2022-23. With that in mind, Dieng should be able to carve out some opportunities off the bench, but he's ultimately viewed as a developmental prospect.
