Bucks actively uncovering Ousmane Dieng reality Thunder never could

Sometimes, a change of scenery can do an individual a whole lot of good. From an on-court production standpoint, it seems this is proving to be exactly the case for Ousmane Dieng, as he's already putting forth efforts in Milwaukee that he never seemed capable of during his time with the OKC Thunder.

After three and a half seasons played in the Sooner State, the former lottery pick was shipped out at the 2026 trade deadline in a move that ultimately opened up a roster spot for their acquisition from a separate deal, Jared McCain.

Though initial expectations for the forward's immediate future seemed to be rather bleak, as he was traded four times in a span of 24 hours, since landing with the Bucks, it seems as if his trajectory has slowly but surely been on the rise.
