Roster Review | Gorgui Dieng

2015-16 season: 82 games, 39 starts, 10.1 PPG, 7.1 RPG, 1.7 APG, 1.2 BPG, 1.1 SPG, 53.2 FG%, 82.7 FT%

Minnesota Timberwolves fans saw Gorgui Dieng quietly put together the best season of his three-year career, putting up a career-high in games played, points per game, rebounds per game, field goal percentage and free-throw percentage.

When Dieng came into the league, he was viewed as a very raw player even though he was 24 years old. Yes, some of the things he does aren't the smoothest, but the end result is all that matters. He’s come a long way since attempting mid-range shots with assistant coach Jack Sikma during his rookie season.
