Another missed opportunity! The Thunder s new star forward seems to have made no progress at all?

In the previous NBA regular season, the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder once again defeated the Indiana Pacers at home 141-135 after a hard-fought double overtime. After this game, the Thunder won two consecutive games since the start of the new season, with a current record of 2 wins and 0 losses, while the Pacers suffered their first loss since the start of the new season, with a current record of 0 wins and 1 loss.

In this game, although the Thunder won the game, the performance of the team's substitute striker Ousmane Dieng was obviously unsatisfactory. Giang played for 15 minutes and 18 seconds, shooting 0 of 3 from the field and 0 of 3 from beyond the three-point line. He did not score 1 point in the game, only contributed 1 rebound, and had 2 fouls, with a plus-minus value of -1. Since many of the Thunder's rotation players missed this game, Dieng also got the opportunity to enter the rotation, and his playing time was not too little. As a result, Gion was inefficient on the offensive end, and his scoring and shooting abilities were unable to be used. It can be said that he has no sense of presence on the offensive end. Not only that, his performance on the defensive end is also very average, and he has no way to reflect his advantages in physical talent. After working for a long time, the highest data turned out to be 2 fouls, which also shows how mediocre Dieng's performance was. Obviously, Gion did not seize this precious opportunity to prove his strength.

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. In the previous preseason games, Giang played a total of 6 times, averaging 26 minutes per game. He averaged 10.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.3 blocks per game. He also had 2.2 turnovers and 2 fouls. He shot 33.8% from the field, 27% from the three-point range, and 76.9% from the free throw line.

Gion's performance last season was still very disappointing. He still did not show any progress or improvement. It is still difficult for him to enter the team's rotation. In the previous preseason games, Dieng got a lot of playing time and performance opportunities, but his performance was still not ideal. Now Dieng got another chance to enter the rotation, but he messed up again. For example, Ajay Mitchell has completed his transformation and quickly demonstrated his talents in all aspects. With Giang's progress, it may only be a matter of time before he is given up by the team.
