2017-18 season: 79 games, 16.9 MPG, 5.9 PPG, 4.6 RPG, 0.9 APG, 47.9 FG%, 31.1 3P%, 77.4 FT%
After starting all 82 games in 2016-17, Wolves center Gorgui Dieng came off the bench in 2017-18 with Taj Gibson signing with the Wolves in the offseason.
It wasn’t the easiest transition for Dieng, who saw his minutes go from 32.4 per game to 16.9.
Dieng’s per-game averages fell to 5.9 points and 4.6 rebounds per game, both his lowest marks since his rookie season in 2013-14. But per-game averages don’t tell the whole story.
