On draft night in 2013, the Minnesota Timberwolves traded down with the Utah Jazz. Trading away Trey Burke for Shabazz Muhammad and Gorgui Dieng. If I told you at the time that the best player from that trade would be Dieng, I don’t think you would have believed me. However, here we are. Dieng has been a solidly improving frontcourt force for the Wolves. He has turned from solid bench player to consistent starter.
Is his job safe?
With young studs like Karl Anthony-Towns, Andrew Wiggins, and Zach LaVine, the Timberwolves have a great young core to build around.
