With both Al-Farouq Aminu and Festus Ezeli announced as being out for the Olympics, former Golden State Warriors lottery pick Ike Diogu will be the center of attention tonight when the Nigeria D'Tigers face Team USA tonight at 5 p.m. PST.
And how can you forget about Ike Diogu?
After being drafted ninth overall in the 2005 NBA Draft, Diogu's most significant contribution to the Warriors was a) dropping 27 on Ben Wallace and the Detroit Pistons (in a loss) that one time and b) being part of the trade for Al Harrington and Stephen Jackson that catalyzed the We Believe run in 2007.
