Oh the good news of the night. Barely came into play at the end of the first quarter in Atlanta, the young Frenchman Ousmane Dieng had already stuck something like 8 points, so like that we can not even go for a quiet Cracotte.
Home stats from this game between Oklahoma Youth and Atlanta Young Boys are right here
He hadn’t stepped on an NBA court for three weeks. In difficulty with his shot and because the Thunder roster is as experimental (in the noble sense of the term) as… deep, Ousmane had therefore joined the Oklahoma City Blue, in the G League, just to send big 6/ 19 without anyone finding anything wrong with it. Great good will have finally come to him, because since the native of Villeneuve-sur-Lot went through the Ligue 2 box, everything has been going pretty well for him. Two games are proof of this, a first once morest the Spurs (10 points at 5/6 shooting and 7 rebounds) and therefore this game last night in Atlanta, during which OD entered the first quarter with the desire to pluck of the falcon.
Present on the rebound, on the passing lines, Ousmane did the job in defense and it paid off in attack, oh the beautiful counter psychology. The strings are raining, so much the better because that’s what he’s here for, and thinking regarding it more closely we say to ourselves that if the expected progression of the Frenchie can push Darius Bazley towards the exit… we might well blow up a jersey flocked Dieng. More seriously ? A reference match for the former resident of the Australian championship, with 15 points at 6/8 shooting including 3/4 from the parking lotand further proof of the Thunder’s flair following Jalen Williams’ good start to the season and the very clever acquisition of former Sixer Isaiah Joe, who still scored three award-winning baskets last night.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander sends off an MVP start to the season, kids grow by winning games, a Unicorn waits wisely on the teco. Imagine the guys decide to go get another kind of unicorn next June, imagine.
