Doc Rivers and Darvin Ham have both coached games for the Milwaukee Bucks lately, and each of them utilized different strategies for Ousmane Dieng's minutes. While Ham went all in on the young forward, Rivers dialed it back and kept him on a tighter leash. Moving forward, the Bucks may want Ham's strategy to be used far more.
The more Ousmane Dieng in Milwaukee's rotation, the better
In Milwaukee's recent outing with the OKC Thunder, a game Rivers missed due to a personal matter, Ham stepped in as head coach. Wanting to get a closer look at Milwaukee's trade deadline addition, Ham deployed Dieng for 36 minutes against his former team, the second-most he's had in a game in his four-year NBA career.
