UNDERDOG
NBA ROLE: SCORING 5
Gorgui Dieng: a pretty solid center; doesn’t get lift on his J but has a solid release point & focus, can knock down Js beyond the arc; not much of a threat w/ his back to the basket but can faceup and use his length to hit hooks; known more as a shot-blocker early on, Dieng has found a groove as a roll man; still not mean or strong enough in the paint – Dieng’s finesse game can get too predictable, prone to forgettable nights on the glass; re-signed w/ Spurs (2022) – Dieng backs up both interior spots
