For weeks I’ve been encouraging NC State to give more minutes to freshman Ismael Diouf.
I’ve said it over and over again. He’s no savior, but the 6’9 freshman brings a whole different skill set to an NC State team whose shortcomings are that they are way too one-dimensional.
I’ve broken down each and every one of his possessions in a piece earlier this season. I’ve showcased his per-minute rebounding numbers to show that he’s one of the tops on the team in his minimal minutes. I’ve called out that he’s in the team’s top-5 in +/- during ACC play.
