Gorgui Dieng, by all accounts, is on the fast track to success in the NBA. The big man from Senegal finished his rookie season on the upswing after Rick Adelman put him on the floor after a string of injuries. And because the Wolves are the Wolves, the injuries didn't abate last season, leading Dieng to play 30 minutes/game as Nikola Pekovic, Anthony Bennett, and eventually Kevin Garnett would all miss extended time.
Last season, Dieng finished 21st in rebounds/game, 13th in blocks/game, and 18th in Defensive Box +/-, all while shooting over 50% from the field. Considering the Wolves drafted him with the idea he would be primarily a low-usage defensive big, that's not bad.
