Gorgui Dieng is the longest-tenured player remaining on the Minnesota Timberwolves‘ roster, yet has often been forgotten on this year’s squad.
The abundance of big men on this year’s team and the shifting trends in the league have made Dieng’s minutes expendable and his future with the team uncertain. That future, however, may be a primary focus as the roster undergoes a massive overhaul this offseason.
Only four big men are currently under contract for the Wolves next season: Karl-Anthony Towns, Dario Saric, Keith Bates-Diop, and Gorgui Dieng.
