I noticed looking at the game flow, that there were four stints during the game where Djeng was the lone big on the court for OKC. Quite interesting. Overall, those minutes were net positive. It’s good to see; and may be something to see more of in the future. He IS 6’11" from what I understand.
I feel like Djeng was Presti’s next swing at a hot shooting 7 foot wing with athleticism, that can play all three frontcourt positions. The first being Poku, who was not extended.
New starting line up idea Shai, giddy, jdub, dieng, chet
I don’t hate it! I think Ous is a natural PF anyway.
He played very good defense against some big centers last night
I wish I could have seen it. I work nights, and was at work. I would love to see how Ous could handle himself against a bull like Joel Embiid. However, how many bigs really punish smaller defenders in the paint anymore? There are no more Shaqs. Joel shoots threes mostly and faces up.
