EDGE Analysis

Dieng is managing eight points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.6 steals, one assist, and 0.6 blocks in 19 minutes per appearance over the last five games. Dieng was getting 28 minutes per game in December, and responded with averages of 10.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.1 blocks per contest. However, he has been closer to 20 minutes per night during every other month in 2015-16, and unless there is a trade made before the deadline, the presence of a healthy Nikola Pekovic further limits Dieng's likelihood of earning 25-30 minutes on a regular basis.
