The OKC Thunder had a hidden gem on their bench for four years and didn't even know it. While they aren't exactly kicking themselves about Ousmane Dieng breaking out in Milwaukee, given that they're still arguably the most talented roster in the league and have a great chance of going back-to-back as NBA Champions, it still stings. He could have certainly helped rather than being a salary dump.
It felt like the Milwaukee Bucks would capitalize on OKC's decision to part with the forward, and they did early, but lately, he's been underutilized. Although not quite as egregious, the Bucks' lack of consistent minutes for Dieng feels similar to the Thunder failing to unearth what the forward could bring to the table.
