Gorgui Dieng
NBA Comparison: Ruben Boumtje-Boumtje Strengths: Bigman with excellent length and defensive potential … 7-foot-3 wingspan gives him exceptional length and makes him a potential rim protector … His bread and butter is his ability to defend as he shows solid lateral foot speed and the ability to smother opponents and limit their open looks … Shows natural timing on blocked shots, and does a solid job of not biting on fakes and exploding on blocked shots … Surprising touch on his mid range jumper considering his lack of all around offensive skills …
