Why aren't we trying to pursue Gorgui Dieng?

Also, Danny's not known for telegraphing his draft interests.

He certainly didn't help our chances at Giannis telling the media that he reminds him of pippen

I guess my question would be, how do you know we aren't looking at drafting Dieng?

On a side note, I had this weird dream last night in which we DID draft Dieng.  Not sure where that came from, as I'm not really all that high on him.

I think the list is Steven Adams, Jeff Withey, Gorgie Dieng, Kelly Olynyk, Gobert and Plumlee. I think we will draft from this pool. Withey and Dieng can come in right away and help us defensively, Olynyk and Plumlee can come in right away and help us on O.  Adams and Gobert are projects with high upside.

In today's nba, your big unless unstopabble in the post or grabs ridiculous amounts of rebounds and block shots , has to be able to dribble the ball. At least be competent

Dieng has not shown much of a handle. Adams zilch. Withey can't dribble also, but is an elite shot blocker (rebounding just ok).  Olynyk , Plumlee, Zeller can handle the ball and do other things and thus are projected to be drafted in the lotto

One darkhorse pf/c that is not projected to go in the 1st, maybe early 2nd is mike muscala.  Multi tooled centre that is not super quick nor athletic and did alot of damage in a weaker conference. But has an endless motor, high iq and nice wingspan at 7'3-7'4 for a 6'11 guy.

With some more muscles/conditioning he could end up being the steal of the draft
